[³ìÃë:Ä«µò ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened in Singapore. But I have not seen anything that would indicate that we should do anything other than strengthening the sanctions against North Korea.¡±
[³ìÃë:º¥ Ȧ·± ÀÇ¿ø] ¡±It¡¯s all questions of getting consensus to move forward. So, I do believe that as time goes on unless the talks that took place in Singapore show any significant progress in terms of achieving the goal of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, there will be a great interest in Congress of moving forward the sanctions¡¦¡±
[³ìÃë:°¡µå³Ê ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°I think we should continue to ratchet up sanctions on North Korea as well as anybody who is enabling North Korea including thousands of business in China who continue to do business with North Korea.¡±
[³ìÃë:°¡µå³Ê ÀÇ¿ø] Their petroleum exports continue to go to North Korea. Those should be embargoed. Those should be cut off. The more pressure we can put to bear on North Korea and its enabler, the more likely it is we will see success with denuclearization.¡±
[³ìÃë:¸¶Å° ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°I want to cut off the crude oil from China into North Korea. That hasn¡¯t happened yet. That¡¯s the most important thing to pick into.¡±
[³ìÃë:¶ó¿îÁî ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°To what degree and when, it¡¯s still up to the administration. But, we will provide the administration with the tools they need to put pressure on those banks to not assist North Korea this time.¡±
[³ìÃë:¶ó¿îÁî ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°Sanctions should be specific to particular actions. Right now, we have series of different actions that China is involved with that do deserve to have sanctions applied for. There are times in which China is actively engaged in stealing intellectual properties. We have to address that. That is under a form of tariffs and sanctions. When China is allowing banks to work with North Korea and direct violation of what we believe to be correct in terms of keeping sanctions on North Korea, then they will be repercussion for those individual banks. So, when we find evidence of Chinese banks assisting North Korea and then there will be sanctions to apply. ¡°
[³ìÃë:Ä«µò ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°Our sanctions regime against North Korea is so far the strongest sanctions regime we have in place in the world. So, we have pretty strong sanctions. We are not the President. The President has not exercised all the power yet.¡±
[³ìÃë:¶ó¿îÁî ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°That has not been the item of discussions with me anyway, and it most certainly would not stop us from putting additional pressure on them at the appropriate time. But, our goal is not to make a Chinese bank to fail. Our goal is to modify their behaviors.¡±
[³ìÃë:Ä«µò ÀÇ¿ø] ¡°¡°I think that it¡¯s in our national security interest which is in economic interest to have an affected change in North Korea behaviors by diplomacy, not by force. Therefore, the use of the sanctions gets us to result, that¡¯s going to be important for our national security which is important for our economy.¡±
