\"President Donald J. Trump, President Moon Jae-in [of South Korea]<\/strong>, and Prime Minister Shinzo<\/strong> Abe [of Japan]<\/strong> met in Hamburg, Germany, on July 6 to discuss the serious and escalating threat posed by the nuclear and ballistic missile programs of the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The three leaders condemned the DPRK\u2019s unprecedented launch, on July 4, of a ballistic missile with intercontinental range, a major escalation that directly violates multiple United Nation\u2019s Security Council (UNSC) resolutions and that clearly demonstrates the growing threat the DPRK poses to the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), and Japan, as well as other countries around the world. The leaders affirmed the importance of working together to counter the DPRK threat and to achieve the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner, a shared goal among the three countries. They also committed to continue to cooperate to apply maximum pressure on the DPRK to change its path, refrain from provocative and threatening actions, and take steps necessary to return to serious denuclearization dialogue. The three leaders emphasized that they, together with the rest of the international community, stand ready to offer a brighter future for the DPRK if it chooses the right path. The United States, the ROK, and Japan will never accept a nuclear armed DPRK.\" Joint Statement from the United States of America, Republic of Korea, and Japan. <\/a>July 7, 2017 An archived version can be viewed here.<\/a> <\/p>",
