US says to denuclearise North Korea priority

Sanders was responding to a question if this administration now advocates regime change in North Korea.

The Trump administration is focused on denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula and anything beyond that is not a priority at this point, the White House said on Friday.“This administration is focused on one big thing when it comes to North Korea. And that’s denuclearistion of the Korean peninsula. That’s our number one priority. That’s what we’re focused on. Anything beyond that is not the priority at this point,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said. Sanders was responding to a question if this administration now advocates regime change in North Korea.

According to Sanders, US President Donald Trump has spoken several times this week to his administration officials and world leaders, specifically about North Korea. The state department welcomed Germany’s decision to downsize its diplomatic mission in Pyongyang and require North Korea to reduce its presence in Berlin.
