Barack Obama actually said...

"Our common goal, shared by the international community, remains the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea in a peaceful manner."

"Our strong Alliance is a testament to our dedication and serves as the linchpin of peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and across the Asia-Pacific region."

"We strongly urge North Korea to immediately and fully comply with its international obligations and commitments."

"The U.S. commitment to the defense of the ROK remains unwavering."
