He also explained the Trump administration's policy on North Korea remains the same,... adding it will continue its economic and diplomatic sanctions campaign against the regime.
Pence also said Washington remains hopeful about the scheduled North Korea-U.S. summit on June 12th.
His latest comments come a day after the U.S. Vice President issued a warning to Pyongyang.
Speaking to Fox News on Monday,... Pence warned that the North would end up like Libya if it fails to reach a nuclear deal with the U.S.,... adding the Trump administration will not tolerate a nuclear armed North Korea.

"This will only end like the Libyan model ended if Kim Jong-un doesn't make a deal... President Trump made it clear: the United States of America, under his leadership, is not going to tolerate the regime in North Korea possessing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that threaten the United States and our allies."

While explaining that Washington is focused on reaching a satisfactory deal with the North,... Pence added that he hopes North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will not let go of this great opportunity for peace.
