PENCE: "Well, we-- we have word of-- of China turning back coal shipments from North Korea. We have word of them-- beginning to-- reduce the amount of commercial travel that exists between North Korea. But as the secretary of state said at the U.N. last week, China needs to do more.

We're-- we're calling on allies in the region to reconsider their guest worker program that provides an enormous amount of cur-- currency to the regime. The key here is for the-- the United States-- and our allies in the region, working with China-- to provide the kind of economic and diplomatic pressure that will result in the regime in Pyongyang-- ending permanently-- their nuclear and ballistic missile ambition. Now we also made it clear all options are on the table. And-- in-- in-- in actions the world has seen the president take in Syria and Afghanistan, President Trump in a very real way has-- has restored the credibility of American power."
