트럼프, 마크론과 통화로 북한 위협 논의
We begin with escalating tensions between North Korea and the international community,... U.S. President Donald Trump spoke on the phone with his counterparts in France and China,... where they said priorities are maintaining regional peace and stability.
The leaders vowed to cooperate on putting an end to the rogue state's provocations.
Lee Unshin reports.
U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron have agreed to work together on the tense situation on the Korean Peninsula, with the aim of "getting North Korea to conform to its international obligations".
In a phone call on Saturday, the two leaders discussed the need to confront the increasing danger associated with the North's destabilizing behavior.
Washington and Pyongyang have recently been using heated rhetoric against each other... following continued threats from the Kim Jung-un regime.
The U.S. President also spoke with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the phone earlier, reaffirming all sides should avoid rhetoric or action that would worsen tensions.
Xi agreed North Korea must end its provocative behavior... and that the latest adoption of a tough UN Security Council resolution on the rogue state, was an important step towards peace and stability.
In his latest comments, Trump softened his tone on the North, highlighting that a window of opportunity for a peaceful solution is still open.

"Hopefully it will work out. Nobody loves a peaceful solution better than President Trump, that I can tell you. Hopefully it will all work out. We will see what happens. We think lots of good things could happen, but we could also have a bad solution. But we think lots of good things could happen."

In South Korea, the presidential office said the phone call between Washington and Beijing could be a new phase in soothing security tensions on the peninsula... adding that Seoul will closely work with both countries on solving the matter.
The European Union, meanwhile, says it will convene an emergency meeting on Monday, to further discuss Pyongyang's provocations and the ongoing tensions.
