U.S. to Lift Sanctions If North Korea Dismantles Nuclear Weapons Program

On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Washington would agree to lift sanctions on North Korea if the country agrees to completely dismantle its nuclear weapons program. Pompeo said the United States would not be willing to invest taxpayer dollars to help the country, but was willing to “lift sanctions” to pave the way for private American investment in North Korea’s energy, agriculture and infrastructure sectors.
