[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Kellyanne Conway, Senior Advisor to the White House, said on the 6th (local time) regarding North Korea, "We are definitely watching what Chairman Kim Jong-un is doing."

Advisor Conway stated, "We have certainly inherited the threats from Iran and North Korea from the previous Barack Obama administration," adding, "President Trump is responding to that challenge through efforts for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

She also said, "Sanctions against North Korea and Iran continue."

Conway's remarks come amid heightened tensions following Chairman Kim's mention of 'new strategic weapons' and 'shocking actual actions' at the end of last year, expressing concern while reaffirming the unchanged stance on maintaining sanctions against North Korea.

Meanwhile, President Trump met with reporters the previous day and said, "I don't think he (Chairman Kim) will break the promise he made to me," but also added, "But he might."
