00:09Strategic patience has been the approach of the last American administration and beyond.
00:13For more than two decades, the United States and our allies have worked to peacefully dismantle North Korea's nuclear program
00:21and alleviate the suffering of their people.
00:24But at every step of the way, North Korea answered our overtures with willful deception.
00:30Broken promises and nuclear and missile tests.
00:33Over the past 18 months, North Korea has conducted two unlawful nuclear tests and an unprecedented number of ballistic missile
00:40tests,
00:41even conducting a failed missile launch as I traveled here for this visit.
00:46The era of strategic patience is over.
00:51Thank you.
01:00Thank you very much.
