United Nations: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asked the UN Security Council to keep up the pressure on North Korea by guaranteeing full application of the sanctions on Pyongyang.
Pompeo, in a statement to the media, said this punishment should not let up until North Korean leader Kim Jong-un keeps his promise to proceed toward denuclearisation, Efe reported.
The US remains “optimistic” about the chances to make progress with North, but believes when sanctions are not adequately applied, the possibilities of success diminish, he said.
