Pompeo: North Korean Sanctions Will Remain Until Nuclear Programme Is Abandoned
North Korea has said it might abandon plans to give up its nuclear technology if the United States continues to demand unilateral denuclearisation
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has hit back at North Korean accusations of "gangster-like" behaviour. Pyongyang has warned that the future of the peace process could be jeopardised by overbearing US demands. But Mr Pompeo stressed that there will be no end to sanctions on North Korea until it has got rid of its nuclear weapons.
