Harris said, "North Korea is the most threatened threat to our country and it can hit the United States - it's not acceptable to the missile owner, North Korea. But China is our biggest long-term challenge. Without the involvement and activities of the United States and our allies, China will implement its supremacy in Asia.
What role will Harris play in a possible meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, on June 12, is still unclear. His nomination was sent to the Senate on May 18.
Harris was the President Trump's choice as ambassador to Australia. The nomination was withdrawn a few hours before its approval hearing in April. At the time, some sources told CNN that it was done by Foreign Minister Mike Pompey.
