US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Friday at a United Nations meeting on North Korea said the regime must "earn its way back to the table," seemingly contradicting comments he made earlier this week when he said the U.S. is ready for talks with North Korea "without preconditions." But the top U.S. diplomat on Friday insisted that earlier this week he also called for North Korea to end its aggressive stance before talks can begin, RIA Novosti reported.

"We have been clear that all options remain on the table in the defense of our nation," Tillerson said at the Friday meeting. "But we do not seek, nor do we want, war with North Korea. The United States will use all necessary measures to defend itself against North Korean aggression, but our hope remains that diplomacy will produce a resolution."
