US Vice-President Mike Pence has warned North Korea not to test Donald Trump's resolve and said "all options are on the table" to achieve the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula while any escalation would be met with an "overwhelming" response.

Mr Pence called on the "entire international community" to join together and confront Pyongyang to demand it abandon its nuclear program after earlier on Monday using a visit to a border area between North and South Korea to declare the era of "strategic patience is over".
