The United States does not rule out ramping up sanctions against North Korea, a State Department official told reporters during a press briefing
WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th March, 2019) The United States does not rule out ramping up sanctions against North Korea, a State Department official told reporters during a press briefing.
"If they [North Korea] choose to go in the direction, which the President laid out to them in an extensive manner at the summit in Hanoi, then they'll have a bright future. To have them otherwise, pressure campaign will be maintained, and if the President decides the sanctions will be increased," the official said on Thursday.
On Tuesday, several US think tanks and South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that satellite pictures showed works were underway to restore the Sohae Satellite Launching Station at Tongchang-ri, which North Korea pledged to dismantle after the summit in Singapore last year.
