Tillerson: We Expect a Very Demanding Agreement with North Korea, One that Achieves a Denuclearized Peninsula

‘We intend to be very demanding in that agreement’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TILLERSON: "I think what North Korea should take away from this decision is that the united States will expect a very demanding agreement with north Korea. One that is very binding and achieves the objectives not just of the United States but the policy objectives of China and other neighbors in the region. A denuclearized Korean peninsula. We intend to be very demanding in that agreement. If we achieve that, there will be nothing to walk away from because the objective will be achieved. The issue with the Iran agreement is it does not achieve the objective. It simply postpones the achievement. We feel that’s one. Weaknesses under the agreement so we’re going to stay in, we’re going to work with our European partners and allies to see if we can’t address these concerns, which are concerns of all of us."
