US hints at more sanctions on N Korea after Iranian deal

Washington's point man on North Korea on Monday hinted at more sanctions against Pyongyang over its atomic weapons program in the wake of Iran's nuclear deal with world powers.

Glyn Davies, the US special representative for North Korea policy, said "If we do not see signs of the North Koreans' sincerity, if they do not act to demonstrate that they understand they must fulfill their obligations and give up their nuclear weapons, then there is more pressure that will be brought to bear on them," Davies said.
