US believes North Korea issue could be resolved diplomatically

The US hopes that the North Korean government will realize it needs to engage in diplomatic talks, the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said during a press briefing at the White House.

He added that the US sanctions against North Korea are taking effect as the international community begins to cut off trade with Pyongyang.

Rex Tillerson stressed that as sanctions take effect, they will increase pressure on the North Korean government that will have to realize it needs to engage in diplomatic talks

Moreover, the US Secretary of State Rex said that a new package of US sanctions against North Korea would be broader and would affect more entities than punitive measures that have been imposed in the past.

Tillerson added that the move would help to disrupt relations between Pyongyang and third-party countries. He pointed out that North Korea was already experiencing the shortage of fuel and its revenues were down.
