Saki said at a briefing today that there is no question that President Biden sees North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missiles and other proliferation-related activities as a grave threat to international peace and security and an international non-proliferation regime.
Saki said the United States is still very interested in deterring North Korea.
The Biden administration said it would adopt a new strategy to keep Americans and allies safe.
