McConnell threatens North Korea with 'maximum pressure' over deal
2018-06-13
[PRESSTV] US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has threatened North Korea with the policy of maximum pressure if it does not stick to the outcome of the historic summit between President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and North Korean leader Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
McConnell, speaking during the opening session of the Senate on Tuesday, said he supported the goals contained in the Trump-Kim’s joint statement on denuclearization but added that Washington must be prepared to respond if Pyongyang failed to comply.

"If North Korea does not prove willing to follow through, we and our allies must be prepared to restore the policy of maximum pressure," he said.

The Senate majority leader added that he was supportive of the White House position on resolving the North Korea problem but emphasized the importance of attaining the end goal.

"The goal of the United States is complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," McConnell said.

Earlier in the day, Trump and the North Korean leader signed a joint statement at the end of their historic meeting in Singapore, promising a new relationship between the nations and pledging to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Kim "reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" and Trump, in exchange, agreed to "provide security guarantees" to North Korea.
