On relevance, I don't expect the minister to run a commentary, but I asked a very straightforward question. It was in the context of the answer he gave to my first supplementary question. When the Minister talked about being reckless and spoke about de-escalation, I put a very direct quote to him. It was a quote from the President of the US who said that North Korea would face 'fire and fury like the world has never seen.' I asked him specifically whether he felt that language was consistent with de-escalation or whether it was reckless and I would like to minister to answer.
