North Korea has conducted dozens of ballistic missile tests under its leader, Kim Jong Un, in defiance of international sanctions. "The United States remains committed to finding a peaceful path to denuclearisation and to ending belligerent actions by North Korea." There was no choice but for countries to keep applying pressure and sanctions against North Korea, he added. "North Korea shouldn't miscalculate the situation and threaten South Korea with a nuclear weapon, which could elicit a possible pre-emptive strike by the United States." Last week, North Korea denounced Trump's decision to relist it as a state sponsor of terrorism, calling it a "serious provocation and violent infringement."
