The United States will continue putting economic and political pressure on North Korea to persuade the regime to give up its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Voice of America reported Wednesday... that the State Department's strategy report on East Asia and the Pacific shows the government is working to achieve Pyeongyang's complete and verifiable denuclearization through negotiations.
The report named the communist state's nuclear program as one of the top issues to be resolved, together with the regional players, and that sanctions will be maintained until the hermit kingdom fully gives up its nukes.
While that is the ultimate goal, the report emphasized the short-term goal is to first freeze North Korea's nuclear development, stop the production of fissile material and form an action plan for the early steps of denuclearization.
