U.S. officials are on high alert for signs of a possible missile launch from North Korea in the coming days that officials have referred to as a “Christmas gift.”

It warned of a possible "Christmas gift," saying the Trump administration was running out of time on nuclear negotiations. Click here for more on our top story.
