Trump warns North Korea: 300 additional sanctions if talks fail

President Trump plans to impose “over 300 massive, in some cases, sanctions” on North Korea if that country fails to advance the cause of peace and denuclearization when Trump meets next week with leader Kim Jong Un.

“We have a list of over 300 massive, in some cases, sanctions to put on North Korea,” Trump told reporters during a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “And I’ve decided to hold that until we can make a deal, because I really believe there’s a potential to make a deal, and I just don’t think it’s nice going in under those circumstances.”
