US Remains Open To North Korea Talks, Aims Denuclearization
The US government, under Trump, has said it's willing to talk with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un.
The main goal of these talks is to get North Korea to stop building nuclear weapons.
This comes after the government took action against companies and people suspected of helping North Korea with their nuclear program.
Trump had previously met with Kim three times but didn't achieve any agreements about denuclearization.
The US wants North Korea to completely get rid of its nuclear weapons, and will continue to negotiate while implementing sanctions.
The White House confirmed it is open to engaging with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The goal of engagement is to achieve a fully denuclearized North Korea.
This follows a crackdown by the Trump administration on North Korea's illicit funding.
Trump previously held three summits with Kim Jong Un, with no concrete denuclearization progress.
The US Treasury sanctioned entities and individuals linked to North Korea's nuclear programs.
