US, South Korean agree to put further pressure on North Korea

US President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have agreed to put further pressure on North Korea. South Korea's Presidential Office says, the two leaders talked over the phone for about 25 minutes today morning. The Presidents strongly condemned North Korea, which fired a ballistic missile on Friday, following its 6th nuclear test earlier this month.<br/><br/>The missile launch came after the UN Security Council adopted a resolution to impose additional sanctions on the North, including a cap on crude oil imports. Trump and Moon agreed to make North Korea realize that provocative actions would lead to further diplomatic isolation, additional economic pressure, and the eventual collapse of the country.<br/><br/>They also agreed that the two nations will work with the international community to thoroughly implement the latest UN Security Council resolution. Moon will travel to New York tomorrow to attend the UN General Assembly. The two leaders confirmed they will further discuss how to respond to North Korea during the meeting.<br/>
