Tillerson: We’re Calling on Gov’ts Around the World to Cut or Reduce Their Ties with N. Korea

EXCERPT:

TILLERSON: "I think they shed a significant amount of light on how complex and difficult applying pressure to North Korea is. But what we are doing is we’re calling on everyone, obviously the Chinese government, but we’re calling on governments around the world and there is not a bilateral discussion I have with any government anywhere in the world whether it’s in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, or Central and South America that we do not talk about their relationship with North Korea and asking them to examine all of those ties. And even when they say, 'We only have $5 million worth of business,' I say, 'Make it 2.' So we’re at least at this stage making clear to people around the world and governments what the U.S. policy and position is."
