Donald Trump warns North Korea of determined response<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

US President Donald Trump says that years of “strategic patience” with North Korea have failed and it is now time for a “determined response”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Together we are facing the threat of the reckless and brutal regime,” Mr Trump said at a press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Trump called on North Korea to “choose a better path… quickly”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, Mr Moon said that it was necessary to continue to engage in dialogue with North Korean leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The South Korean president added that his country would pursue defence reforms and continue to build up the capacity to defend itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Moon said the North Korea issue was a top priority during the talks, stressing that “only strong security can bring about genuine peace” in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the White House, Mr Trump said that the “era of strategic patience with the North Korean regime has failed, many years it has failed,” adding: “Frankly, that patience is over.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The US leader said that Washington was “working closely with South Korea and Japan, as well as partners around the world, on a range of diplomatic, security and economic measures to protect our allies and our own citizens from this menace known as North Korea”.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It comes after the US announced sanctions on a Chinese bank accused of laundering North Korean money, sparking an angry response from China.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A foreign ministry spokesman urged the US to “stop wrongful actions” to avoid harming co-operation between the two nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The US said the blacklisting, which included sanctions on a Chinese shipping company and two Chinese nationals, was aimed at cutting funds to North Korea’s weapons programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    “We will follow the money and cut off the money,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told a news conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

    But he said the move was not a response to Chinese inaction on North Korea, adding: “This is not directed at China, this is directed at a bank, as well as individuals and entities in China.”<\/span><\/p>\n

    Washington has been pushing Beijing for tougher measures amid a series of missile tests by Pyongyang. But in a tweet earlier this month, Mr Trump said China’s actions had “not worked out”.<\/span><\/p>\n
