>> reporter: just hours after north korea flaunted its military strength, a fail i had missile test exposed its weakness. the medium range missile blew up less than five seconds after launch. according to the a white house foreign intelligence advisor the white house had good intelligence before and after the test. some suspect whether u.s. sabotage could have factored into the failed launch. >> we don't know yet. it could be sabotage. it could be poor engineering, just bad luck. the that's the nature of these missile programs. it is clear u.s. policy has been to do everything possible. >> reporter: whether or not the u.s. played a role, the failed launch is an embarrassment for kim jong-un and not good for the u.s. or the region either. the concern, that north korea will try a nuclear test or a long-range missile. what south korean officials call clear acts of threat. north korea says it is close to testing an

intercontinental ballistic missile. if and when it does, a game changer for the united states. >> i think there's an international consensus now, including, including the chinese and the chinese leadership that this is a situation that just can't continue. >> reporter: amid the turmoil, vice president mike pence arrived to seoul for meetings about the north's nuclear threat and spoke to american troops stationed here. >> this morning's provocation from the north is just the latest reminder of the risks each one of you face every day. >> reporter: also heading to the peninsula, a u.s. naval strike group, able to shoot down incoming missiles and launch their own. the vice president's visit to south korea was planned long ago, but has taken on new significance to reassure an ally and to discuss military options to contain the threat. kate. janice, thank you. staying overseas, a surprise visit by the national security adviser h.r. mcmaster

civilization. >> reporter: president donald trump is considering his general's request to add a few thousand more troops to the almost 9,000 already in afghanistan. >> now you've got to put outside eyes on it. we're losing in afghanistan. it is going down the tubes. general mcmaster is there to come back with an assessment. >> reporter: making the second trip to a war zone in two weeks after president trump's son-in-law kushner flew to iraq with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. kate, tomorrow mattis head, all three getting firsthand accounts on whether trump should take the fight to isis and deepen america's involvement in afghanistan, america's longest war. >> thank you. here at home, president trump was up and on social media this morning from his estate in south florida, wishing folks a happy easter along with a flurry of messages over everything from north korea and china to the protest marches about his tax returns.

as nbc's kellie o'donnell reports, there was no break from the presidential tweet form. >> reporter: no comment is not the president's usually approach. but his silence on north korea's failed launch is to deprive kim jong-un of attention while the white house reaches to china for help. >> what the president was able to convey to chinese president is that north korea is no longer an asset. north korea is a liability. >> reporter: today the presidential motorcade rolled along the ocean's edge to a palm beach church where the trump's celebrated easter services. after a surprising 40-hour break from twitter he unleashed a storm of five tweets. explained the shift on china. why would i call china a currency manipulator when they're working with us on the north korean problem? senator mccain said the president is right to lean on china. >> china can shut them down. whether they're

currency manipulators or not, we should expect them to act to prevent what could be a cataclysmic event. >> reporter: in a more defensive move he linked his victory to his refusal to release his tax returns. i did what was almost an impossible thing to do for a republican, easily won the electoral college. now tax returns are brought up again. >> every other president has shown their tax returns and i think there's something in there that he wants to shied. >> reporter: his irritation evident after saturday's nationwide protest called the tax march. someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. the election is over! and tomorrow the trump thes take on would be of the most watched of all white house traditions, the ooser egg roll on. that means thousands of children and families on the south lawn, and for first lady and her small staff it is a logistical challenge and a test to the see how well the trump team can organize such a major event. kate. >> usually a lot of fun though.
