Moving North Korea along the path of complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization and the dismantling of its intercontinental ballistic missile program
Secretary of State Pompeo Delivers Strong Message on North Korean Sanctions at the UN
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in New York City on Friday to deliver a firm message of resolve regarding North Korea to the members of the United Nations Security Council, as well as representatives from South Korea and Japan, at a closed-door meeting held at South Korea’s UN mission. North Korea, he said, must demonstrate with concrete actions that it is moving in the direction of complete denuclearization before any sanctions relief can be considered. Secretary Pompeo told reporters at UN headquarters following this meeting, and another meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, that the members of the Security Council “are united on the need for final, fully verified denuclearization of North Korea as agreed to by Chairman Kim. Strict enforcement of sanctions is critical to achieving this goal."
