US sanctions against North Korea will remain intact until Pyongyang destroys all nuclear sites

United States says its sanctions against North Korea will remain intact until Pyongyang destroys all nuclear sites.   

Talking to newsmen in Washington, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he expects North Korea's leader will live up to his commitment and not resume nuclear and missile tests.

Earlier, North Korean-Vice Foreign Minister Choe Sun-hui said US had thrown away a golden opportunity during the Hanoi Summit when North Korea offered to dismantle its main Yongbyon nuclear complex.
