Senior US national security officials said on Sunday that a military confrontation with North Korea was not imminent, but they cautioned the possibility of war was greater than it was a decade ago.CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster,  Donald Trump's national security adviser, tried to provide assurances that a conflict is avoidable, while also supporting the president's tough talk. 
"We're not closer to war than a week ago but we are closer to war than we were a decade ago," McMaster said, adding that the Trump administration is prepared to deal militarily with North Korea if necessary. "The U.S. military is locked and loaded every day," McMaster said, repeating Trump's threat.
