In Boston-Up Coming Korean events

Trump’s belligerent rhetoric continues to inflame the tense situation in the Korean peninsula as he even belittled the negotiating efforts of his own secretary of state, Rex Tillerson.  The US military buildup continues with joint maritime exercises with South Korea and plans to evacuate US personnel in case of a North Korean attack.  Meanwhile, China, Russia and most other countries call for lessening of tensions.
