Trump's policy towards North Korea rallied the global community around the need to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, said US National Security Assistant Herbert McMaster.

The threat is growing, and it is important for us to understand the essence of this regime and how great is the threat to the peace, said McMaster, RIA Novosti reported.

According to him, after Trump's first year in the White House, the world community realized that the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is the only solution, and countries, especially China, began economic pressure on North Korea.

Everyone realizes that we cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, when North Korea continued to pursue the goal of developing nuclear and ballistic programs, McMaster said, when asked whether the rhetoric of the US president cause of growing tension around North Korea.
