Intelligence analysts have been tracking North Korea's nuclear activity, and what they see could make things more tense.
There are reports that Pyongyang could be preparing for possibly three more nuclear tests at three different sites.
This comes as Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice continues the second leg of her Asian tour in South Korea, technically still at war with the North.
Rice's mission is to iron out differences of opinion in how to implement U.N. sanctions over Pyongyang's first test earlier this month.
She also came to Seoul with a similar promise she gave in Tokyo.
"The United States has the will and the capability to meet the full range, and I underscore, the full range of its deterrent and security commitments," said Rice.
Meanwhile, China's president sent an envoy to warn North Korean leader Kim Jong Il not to conduct further tests.
President Bush said, "They'd be held to account."
In an interview with ABC News, the President issued a warning of his own should the reclusive regime sell its new-found nuclear technology.
"If we get intelligence that they're about to transfer a nuclear weapon, we would stop the transfer, and we would deal with the ships that were taking the - or the airplane that was dealing with taking the material to somebody," said Bush.
In recent weeks, the U.S. has said it has no intention of attacking North Korea. Rather, it wants Pyongyang to experience the consequences of breaking a nuclear agreement and defying the international community by coming under U.N. sanctions.
