US President Donald Trump has said in a video statement that he intends to maintain sanctions on North Korea as it tackles denuclearization.
Trump on Friday released the message in an apparent bid to defend his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Critics have voiced skepticism about the meeting. They say it provides no concrete details on the North's path to abandoning nuclear arms.
The first-ever US-North Korea summit took place last Tuesday in Singapore. The 2 leaders signed a joint statement saying North Korea commits to working toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Trump described the summit as "open" and "very productive". He claimed it enabled people around the world to feel "much safer".
Trump said: "If there's a chance to end the horrible threat of the nuclear conflict, then we must pursue it at all costs."
Trump added Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is beginning talks with the North on implementing the denuclearization deal. He said that in the meantime, sanctions will remain in place.

US President Donald Trump has announced additional duties on Chinese imports worth 50 billion dollars to be implemented in two phases starting on July 6th.
The Trump administration announced a draft plan in April to impose high tariffs on a wide variety of Chinese imports under Section 301 of the US Trade Act.
The 2 countries have been negotiating ways to reduce the US trade deficit with China. Friday's announcement came after the US determined that China isn't doing enough.
The US government says China is also violating intellectual property rights.
In China's high-priority technology industry 1,102 items are subject to a 25-percent duty.
A White House statement indicates President Trump's determination to rectify the US trade imbalance with China.
The statement says these tariffs are essential to preventing further unfair transfer of the US technology and intellectual property to China. It also says the tariffs will serve as an initial step toward bringing balance to the trade relationship between the two countries.
China is expected to retaliate against the measure by cancelling its offer to buy more US farm products.
The US has already levied heavy duties on Chinese steel and aluminum products, citing security concerns.
This latest move is bound to intensify the trade friction between the world's two largest economic powers.

China has announced specific tariffs to counter US President Donald Trump's decision to impose additional duties on Chinese products.
The US government earlier announced a 25-percent duty on 1,102 Chinese products worth 50 billion dollars in 2 phases starting on July 6th.
The measures were announced after a breakdown of bilateral negotiations aimed at slashing the US trade deficit with China.
China's retaliatory measures will impose the same rate of tariffs on 659 US items, including agricultural products, automobiles, and whisky.
The total value of US products subject to Chinese duties matches the 50 billion dollars the US imposed on Chinese products.
China's tariffs will go into effect for 545 of the 659 US items on July the sixth -- the same day the US government will initially impose its new tariffs. Officials in Beijing say they will determine the timeline for the rest at a later date.
China retaliated for US tariffs on steel and aluminum imports in March by placing duties on US products worth nearly 3 billion dollars. The latest tariffs target US products that are worth much more.
Concerns are mounting over escalating trade friction between the world's 2 largest economic powers.
Key words : power company restart another

A power company in southwestern Japan has restarted another reactor at the Genkai nuclear plant in Saga Prefecture after clearing regulations introduced in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
It's the 9th reactor in Japan to go back online since the new regulations came into effect. The operating reactors are spread across 5 plants.
Workers for Kyushu Electric Power Company initiated restart procedures for the No. 4 reactor at the Genkai nuclear power station on Saturday, removing the control rods that suppress atomic fission.
The utility says the reactor will likely reach criticality -- a self-sustained nuclear reaction -- late on Saturday or early Sunday, and begin power generation and transmission on Wednesday. Commercial operations are likely to start as early as July 10th.
The plant's No. 3 reactor went back online in March, but encountered a steam leak in its piping. The utility conducted a detailed inspection of the No. 4 reactor to ensure it wouldn't experience the same problem.
Power companies say that so far they have applied to the nuclear regulator for approval to put 26 reactors back into operation. But they say in the case of 17, the restart has been put on hold due partly to delays in safety work and regulator assessments. They say the Genkai No. 4 reactor will be the last to restart this year.

Protesters have rallied against the restart of a nuclear reactor in the town of Genkai, southwestern Japan.
About 150 members of civic groups from Saga and nearby prefectures gathered on Saturday morning in front of the plant, operated by Kyushu Electric Power Company.
The demonstrators held banners opposing the resumption of the No. 4 reactor. They shouted slogans, calling for the reactor's suspension and a change in the country's energy policy.
Among them was a man from neighboring Karatsu City. He told reporters he has sent questions to Kyushu Electric Power Company asking how it will handle spent nuclear fuel.
But he said the utility had failed to provide answers since it began preparations for the restart. He said the company should answer people's questions before putting the reactor back online.
