N. Korea is suffering, more sanctions not necessary at the moment: Trump
- 5 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump says... imposing new sanctions on North Korea will not be necessary at this time.
Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Friday, Trump reaffirmed that no additional sanctions will be adopted for now,... explaining that Pyeongyang is already having a hard time.
He also stressed the importance of maintaining what he calls an "understanding" relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
However, Trump also pointed out... that it doesn't mean he was ruling out new sanctions at a later date.
His remarks come... a week after Trump sparked confusion by saying he was rolling back U.S. Treasury Department sanctions on North Korea.
