Trump: ‘We Will be Putting More Sanctions on North Korea’

President Donald Trump said Thursday that North Korea will be hit with additional sanctions β€” a move that will ratchet up already high tensions between the United States and Pyongyang.

“We will be putting more sanctions on North Korea,” the president said when questioned by reporters during a brief media availability at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel.

Trump’s time at the United Nations General Assembly this week has been marked by his comments on North Korea and its leader Kim Jong Un, whom the president derided as “rocket man” during his address to the world body. Trump also threatened in the speech to “totally destroy North Korea” if that country persists with provocative actions.

“Rocket man is on a suicide mission,” Trump said Tuesday. “The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.”

The Trump administration has repeatedly assured that all options are on the table in dealing with North Korea, including a possible military response.
