World News: The US State Department said on Wednesday that the Biden administration “will not hesitate” to impose more sanctions on Russia and North Korea if they sign a new arms deal. Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attended a meeting at the Vostochny Cosmodrome. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller issued the warning at a briefing in response to questions about the meeting in Russia between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

We will not hesitate to take action: Miller

Matthew Miller said that we have already taken several actions to impose sanctions on entities that broker arms sales between North Korea and Russia, and we will not hesitate to take additional actions if appropriate.

Discussion of Russia and North Korea

He said it is troubling that Russia and North Korea are discussing expanding cooperation, which could violate UN Security Council resolutions. Miller said that when you see that increase in cooperation and possibly military transfers, it is quite troubling. He said that this would potentially violate many resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.

Kim expressed confidence of support to Putin

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday pledged full and unconditional support to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two leaders held a summit that the US warned could lead to a deal to supply ammunition to Moscow's war in Ukraine. This meeting between the leaders of Russia and North Korea took place in a Siberian rocket launch center and lasted for about four hours. This meeting between these two leaders, who were isolated by the Western countries, underlines how the interests of both are in the same direction.
