Trump Moves to Widen U.S. Sanctions on North Korea<br />If North Korea makes a decision even now to stand on the right side of history, we are ready to assist North Korea together with the international community." The speech came a day after North Korea likened Mr. Trump to a "dog barking." "Back home, we have a saying: The dog barks,<br />but the caravan continues," North Korea’s foreign minister, Ri Yong-ho, told reporters in New York on Wednesday when asked about Mr. Trump’s speech.<br />Moon said that North Korea’s nuclear program is a grave threat to peace and security in our world, and it is unacceptable<br />that others financially support this criminal, rogue regime,<br />21, 2017<br />President Trump ordered a widening of American sanctions on North Korea on Thursday in an effort to further constrict its trade with the outside world, as he presented a united front with South Korea<br />and Japan and sought to forge a common strategy for confronting the isolated nuclear-armed state.<br />Mike Pence said that If he thought he could scare us with the noise of a dog barking, well, he should be daydreaming.<br />"But the United States has responded firmly and in a very good way." He told Mr. Trump: "You made a very strong speech,<br />and I believe the strength of your speech will also help to change North Korea." The United Nations has tried to limit North Korea’s resources — and cripple its nuclear program — by imposing limits on trade.<br />Mr. Trump has derided this approach, calling it "appeasement" and declaring<br />that "talking is not the answer." No mention was made of that on Thursday, however, as the president said that the United States and South Korea were "making a lot of progress" together and Mr.<br />Moon used his own address to the General Assembly to urge world leaders to "peacefully solve the North Korea nuclear issue," step up diplomatic pressure<br />and do everything possible to prevent war on the Korean Peninsula.
