Iran Press/ America: The US issued a terse warning to North Korea on Tuesday and told Pyongyang it will pay a price if it decides to sell arms to Russia.
Arms negotiations between Russia and North Korea are actively advancing, a US official said on Tuesday and warned leader Kim Jong-un that his country would pay a price for supplying Russia with weapons to use in Ukraine.
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday that the United States believes the negotiations between North Korea and Russia are “actively advancing”.
Providing weapons to Russia “is not going to reflect well on North Korea and they will pay a price for this in the international community,” US national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters at the White House.
The comments come after the White House said Friday that secretive talks between Russia and North Korea to supply the Kremlin with munitions for its war effort in Ukraine are "actively advancing."
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said US intelligence indicates Russia is seeking artillery rounds and raw materials to bolster its heavily sanctioned defense industrial base.
The Kremlin has refused to comment on the US claims, stressing that it has “nothing to say” about reports of potential direct talks between the two leaders. 219
