Trump says N.Korea sanctions remain for now, looks forward to lifting them

SINGAPORE, June 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump on Tuesday
said sanctions would remain on North Korea for now, but he wants to remove
them as soon as possible.

“The sanctions will come off when we are sure that the nukes are no longer
a factor,” Trump said at a press conference in Singapore. “I hope it is
soon… at a certain point I look forward to taking them off.”
