President Donald Trump said Thursday the U.S. “will be putting more sanctions on North Korea.” He was responding to a shouted question by a reporter at a meeting with the president of Afghanistan and did not elaborate. Trump is holding a final day of meetings at the United Nations and is expected to focus his attention on North Korea in meetings with the leaders of Japan and South Korea. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, whose agency oversees sanctions, is scheduled to brief reporters at 3 p.m. Eastern, the White House said without specifying a topic.
