    FOX’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:

    It’s not a matter of if North Korea gets nuclear weapons, but when. That from U.S. Navy Admiral Harry Harris, who told the Senate Armed Services Committee that North Korea is not yet an existential threat, but warned:

    (Harris) “We are faced with a threat and a leader who is intent on achieving his goal of nuclear capability against the United States.”
