So, now, let me be clear, the United States will never recognize any territory Russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex, as anything other than parts of Ukraine. We reject Russia's actions unequivocally.

We are prepared to have an open dialogue with the North Koreans without preconditions. We want to pursue diplomacy.

So, we don`t want to treat them, even though they are a permanent member of the security council, they are not behaving with the responsibility that we would expect of a permanent member of the Security Council.
