<p><a type="internal">North Korea</a> must denuclearise the peninsula amid <a type="internal">World War 3</a> scares, Counsellor to the President, Kellyanne Conway has warned.</p> 
<p>Speaking to <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/" type="external">Fox News</a>, Donald Trump&#8217;s top aide said: &#8220;Well the President&#8217;s position, our position on North Korea has never changed.</p> 
<p>&#8220;He continues to apply maximum pressure.&#8221;</p> 
<p>Ms Conway added that the <a type="internal">United States</a> is &#8220;very happy&#8221; to see a more unified effort against <a type="internal">Kim Jong-un</a>&#8217;s regime.</p> North Korea news: Trump will continue to apply 
<p>She said: &#8220;North Korea must denuclearise the peninsula region and we&#8217;re very happy that there seems to be a more unified international effort in this regard, in that pursuit.</p> 
<p>&#8220;You see the United Nations resolution on December 22, very recently, you see the previous resolutions unanimously in support of the United States position with respect to North Korea."</p> 
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s aide added that North Korea is a threat to the entire world, not just the US.</p> 
<p>She said: &#8220;This is key because this President has made clear from the beginning and constantly throughout the first year of his presidency that a nuclearised North Korea is not just a danger and a threat to America, and to any freedom and democracy loving people, but to the entire world and the world is responding.&#8221;</p> 
<p>It comes after President Trump threatened North Korea with his "much bigger and more powerful" nuclear button following menacing undertones in Kim Jong-un's speech on New Year's Day.</p> 
<p>Mr Trump wrote on Twitter: "North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.'</p> 
<p>"Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger &amp;amp; more powerful one than his, and my Button works!"</p> 
<p>North Korea has been fanning fears of <a type="internal">World War 3</a> by refusing to heed calls for denuclearisation &#8211; with leader Kim engaging President Trump in an escalating war of words.</p> 
<p>But Kim appeared to offer an olive branch to neighbouring South Korea &#8211; a close US ally &#8211; by suggesting North Korea could use the 2018 Winter Olympics to organise diplomatic talks with Seoul to defuse tensions with the international community.</p>
