WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States has a new set of restrictive measures coming out against North Korea soon, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said during a think-tank event.
"We have a new set of sanctions measures coming forward as we speak," Sullivan said on Wednesday during an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The Biden adviser told eventgoers that North Korea has completely rejected sincere US efforts to engage in dialogue to resolve bilateral issues over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program.
"Pyongyang has today completely rejected this sincere outreach," Sullivan said on Wednesday during an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "In the event that they [North Korea] chose to take a different tack and to engage, we're prepared to explore practical steps that would increase regional security and address the interests of both sides."
Sullivan's remarks come as North Korea has conducted dozens of missile test launches since the start of 2022, firing several missiles at once on some occasions.
