Mike Pompeo: U.S. to maintain sanctions, diplomatic pressure against North Korea

The United States will keep pressure on North Korea to come to the negotiating table and abandon its nuclear weapons program, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday after President Donald Trump canceled his planned summit with the North, USA Today reported.

“The pressure campaign continues,” Pompeo told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

He said sanctions will continue to squeeze North Korea's economy, along with diplomatic efforts to possibly reschedule a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which had been set for June 12 in Singapore.
