People always described him as shy, as reserved, as taciturn, but by this point, he's now in his early 23s, and these qualities that perhaps were seen as weaknesses when he was a child, they're now being interpreted as a sign of discipline, a sign of somebody who doesn't have a loose tongue, who says only exactly what he has to say and nothing more.

Rex Tillerson has remained committed to diplomacy and a "peaceful pressure campaign" while his commander-in-chief tweets threats against "madman" Kim Jong Un.
