Pres. Trump says he hasn't undercut his cabinet

U.S. President Donald Trump is denying he's undercut his cabinet, adding that he has confidence in U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Last week, Secretary Tillerson was asked point blank whether he'd called Donald Trump a moron, and would only say he doesn't participate in such petty stuff.

Earlier, President Trump told Secretary Tillerson via twitter to not waste his time on North Korea talks, ratcheting up the rhetoric suggesting there's only one thing Pyongyang will listen to.

Asked again, President Trump told reporters he doesn't undercut anyone:
