NEW YORK/WASHINGTON -- The U.S. remains resolved to pressure Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons and missiles, but says results hinge on China's actions, among which must be to halt all shipments of oil to North Korea.
The U.S. takes the latest missile launch, carried out on Tuesday U.S. time, "very seriously," President Donald Trump told lawmakers later that day. The new Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile is thought to have a range of 13,000km, putting all of the U.S. mainland within its reach.
