Statement

Issues: Foreign Affairs

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) released the following statement on the Administration's decision to cancel the scheduled summit with North Korea that was scheduled for June 12, 2018:

"I could care less about the rhetoric between North Korea and the United States. What is important is that North Korea has a different definition of what denuclearization means. For the North Koreans, it is suspending their nuclear weapons program and for the United States, its completely dismantling their program. Until the North Koreans can agree to completely dismantle their nuclear weapons program, we need to continue to ratchet up the economic sanctions until we can arrive at an agreement to bring peace to the Korean peninsula."
