North Korea<\/strong><\/p> \"So as I\u2019ve said consistently as we\u2019ve been continuing to work with the North Koreans to deliver on the world\u2019s demands, the UN Security Council resolutions, which demand a number of things from North Korea and from no one else. There\u2019s only country that has a commitment under those Security Council resolutions.<\/p>\n As I\u2019ve said before, I\u2019m not going to talk about ongoing negotiations, discussions that we\u2019re having, with the North Koreans. We will work \u2013 we will continue to work with them to deliver for the world, as against the UN Security Council resolutions, and for Chairman Kim to deliver on the commitment that he made to President Trump in Singapore now back on June 12th. [...]<\/p> On North Korea, no, I\u2019m not going to talk about the negotiations and what the next steps might be. It is the case that there is still an enormous amount of work to do. We haven\u2019t had any nuclear tests, we haven\u2019t had any missile tests, which we consider a good thing. But the work of convincing Chairman Kim to make the strategic shift that we\u2019ve talked about for a brighter future for the people of North Korea continues.\" India <\/strong><\/p> \"We have told the Indians consistently, as we have told every nation, that on November 4th the sanctions with respect to Iranian crude oil will be enforced, and that we will consider waivers where appropriate, but that it is our expectation that the purchases of Iranian crude oil will go to zero from every country, or sanctions will be imposed. So we\u2019ll work with the Indians. We committed that we would do that. Many countries are in a place where they \u2013 it takes a little bit of time to unwind, and we\u2019ll work with them, I am sure, to find an outcome that makes sense.<\/p>\n And from whence they purchase the other crude oil, we\u2019re happy to see if it\u2019s American products that are able to deliver for them. I think that\u2019d be a great outcome. But our mission set is to make sure that Iran doesn\u2019t engage in malign behavior with wealth that comes from countries around the world, thus the purpose of the sanctions.\"<\/p>",
