"I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man," AFP quoted US President Donald Trump writing on Twitter, using the nickname he gave to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Mr Trump's comments came after Mr Tillerson revealed that the US still had open channels of communication with North Korea to discuss its nuclear and missile programs, but Pyongyang had shown no interest in discussing them.
"Save your energy, Rex. We'll do what needs to be done," said the US President.
On September 30, during a visit to China, Secretary of State Tillerson said the US is considering whether North Korea is interested in discussing and Washington still maintains many direct communication channels with Pyongyang. This is the first time a voice from President Trump's administration has acknowledged the information.
