White House officials are said to have been concerned in 2017 that the former president was using belligerent language behind closed doors which matched his public comments.
In an afterword due to be added to his 2020 book Donald Trump V. the United States, Michael Schmidt writes that Mr Trump had been threatening North Korea on social media in the days after Kelly took up the position.
In the new section of the book, due to be published next week, The New York Times' Washington correspondent adds:"What scared Kelly even more than the tweets was the fact that behind closed doors in the Oval Office, Trump continued to talk as if he wanted to go to war. He cavalierly discussed the idea of using a nuclear weapon against North Korea, saying that if he took such an action, the administration could blame someone else for it to absolve itself of responsibility.
Mr Schmidt also told Sky News' US partner NBC News that"behind closed doors in front of his aides, Trump would talk cavalierly about using force against North Korea, and there were deep concerns about this because Trump was saying things publicly that were signalling the potential of military conflict".
The following year, however, he became the first US president to meet his North Korean counterpart when the pair held a summit in Korea's demilitarised zone.
