- 6 years ago
Staying with that meeting at the White House.
U.S. President Donald Trump revealed there will be no new U.S. sanctions placed on North Korea... while the two sides are engaged in dialogue.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House after seeing off Kim Yong-chol,... Trump also said he doesn't want to use the term "maximum pressure" anymore to describe U.S. pressure on North Korea.
He added that he looks forward to the day when he can take the sanctions off Pyongyang.
Regarding possible economic support and aid for the regime, President Trump deflected such responsibility to the North's three closest neighbors -- South Korea, Japan, and China -- citing the vast geographical distance between the U.S. and North Korea.
