"Our intelligence does reflect the genuine possibility that there will be either a further missile test, including long-range missile test, or a nuclear test, or frankly both in the days leading into, on, or after the president's trip to the region. We're preparing for all contingencies, including the possibility that such a provocation would occur while we are in Korea or in Japan," Sullivan said during a press briefing.
The US is coordinating closely with South Korea and Japan, as well as China, about the issue, Sullivan added.
