Nauert emphasized the United States remains focused on isolating North Korea to ensure global peace and stability.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have escalated in recent months after Pyongyang carried out several ballistic missile and nuclear tests and the North Korean and US leaders have traded insults and threats. The United States has dispatched three aircraft carrier strike groups within reach of North Korea.
