SINGAPORE U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis called on China to help stymie North Korea's nuclear ambitions, describing the Kim Jong Un regime as a "clear and present danger" to U.S. national security.
Speaking on June 3 at the 16th Asia Security Summit, also known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, Mattis also warned of the threat of terrorism in Asia. "We must defeat extremist organizations wherever they attempt to establish roots -- not just in Iraq and Syria, but also here in Southeast Asia," he said.
