Seoul counters Trump's remark on sanctions lifting


Seoul is downplaying comments by President Donald Trump who said South Korea does nothing without Washington's approval. Trump made the remark after South Korea's foreign minister suggested Seoul would be lifting its own sanctions against North Korea.

Bruce Harrison reports from Seoul.

OUT: SOC
DUR: 0:44




South Korea's presidential office said President Donald Trump only meant actions would be approved after consent on both sides.

This week, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa suggested Seoul would ease a set of sanctions against North Korea to encourage leader Kim Jong-un to give up his nuclear weapons.

Kang was referring to sanctions South Korea put in place against the North in 2010 after the sinking of a South Korean warship. Forty-six sailors were killed.

Kang later backtracked on her comments. And the foreign ministry denied there's an ongoing review about lifting the sanctions.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in favors closer ties with Pyongyang. But he has also promised to back international sanctions that largely target trade with North Korea.
