After the breakdown of the second North American summit in Vietnam, the relationship between North Korea and the United States has been cold for several weeks now. North Korea said last week that it would halt negotiations, and the US Treasury Department announced yesterday (June 22) additional sanctions. In the meantime, President Trump told him to withdraw additional sanctions against North Korea. It is noteworthy that a breakthrough will be made in North American relations.

President Trump said in an article posted on Twitter that he would withdraw additional sanctions against North Korea.

"The Treasury today announced that it will add massive sanctions to its existing sanctions against North Korea, and it has instructed them to withdraw them."

The sanction, which has been ordered to withdraw, appears to have misinterpreted the announcement yesterday as the Treasury announced yesterday the additional sanctions.

White House spokesman Sanders said, "President Trump is in favor of Chairman Kim Jong-un, and I do not think any additional sanctions are necessary."

We reaffirmed that there is no change in confidence in Kim, and we have shown our willingness to continue negotiations with North Korea for denuclearization.

Earlier, the US Treasury Department announced yesterday that it has imposed sanctions on two Chinese shipping companies in connection with North Korea, and issued a warning about illegal maritime transactions, adding a bunch of vessels suspected of illegal transshipment.

After the announcement of additional sanctions by the Ministry of Finance, North Korea suddenly withdrew from Kaesong Inter-Korean Liaison Office.

President Trump said there is no need for additional sanctions on North Korea, and it is noteworthy that a breakthrough will be made in the North Korea-US relationship,
