White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders on Wednesday said North Korea was
"moving in the right direction" on the issue of Korean Peninsula
denuclearization.
Earlier on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump
said North Korean top leader Kim Jong Un is "very open" and "very
honourable," and he hoped that Washington could deal with Pyongyang in
an "honorable fashion".
In a press briefing, Sanders said North Korea has "been open with their willingness to denuclearize," Xinhua reported.
"They're
moving in the right direction," she said, adding Trump "wants to have
the ability to sit down and have these conversations" with the Korean
side.
She reiterated that the United States will not let up on
the maximum pressure campaign against Pyongyang "until we see some of
the words that they've made go into concrete action."
South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet with Kim Friday. Trump said his meeting with Kim may happen in May or early June.
