North Korea may have reconsidered 'Christmas gift': National security adviser

Donald Trump's national security adviser said that the president has engaged in "high-level" diplomacy with Kim Jong-Un and suggested on ABC's "This Week" that maybe North Korea's leader has reconsidered his threat of a "Christmas gift" to the U.S.

"Multiple administrations Republicans and Democrat, have dealt with this situation without success over the years. President Trump took a different tack with personal diplomacy and so far we've had some success" Robert O'Brien told ABC News White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Sunday.

"Kim Jong-Un promised to denuclearize the Korean peninsula and we want to hold him to that commitment and we hope he follows through with the commitment that he made in Singapore," the national security adviser added.

North Korea's vice minister of foreign affairs suggested the country would give the U.S. a "Christmas gift" in a statement earlier this month. That message put officials in the U.S. and South Korea on high alert for a potential long-range missile test over the holidays.
