sanctions that can include not only otto warmbier but the north korean assassination of kim jong-un's stepbrother. there are a number of incidents that they can use to cite it as a state sponsor of terror. >> well, that's exactly right. you're right. of course, they had been listed for many years as a state sponsor of terror but george w. bush at the end of 2006 beginning of 2007 took them off the list as an incentive during talks they were having at the time. the moment they felt like they were making progress towards convincing north korea to give up its nuclear program, those talks ended up not succeeding. now here we are a decade later putting them back on that list. there isn't by itself as kristin is saying a big tangible impact. the sanctions he's announcing tomorrow may have more of an impact. they're not you know, nobody needs this designation in order to keep putting sanctions on north korea. but the real target of anxiouses that might make a difference most experts say at this point would be china because they're the one who have kept north korea afloat. that doesn't seem t

south korea, attempted to assassinate senior leaders, attacked south korean ships, and tortured otto warmbier, ultimately leading to that fine young man's death. all the while, the regime has pursued nuclear weapons with the diluted hope that it could blackmail its way to the ultimate objective. that objective, we are not going to let it happen. all of korea is under that spell divided in half. south korea will never allow what is going on in north korea to continue to happen. the north korean regime has pursued its nuclear and ballistic missile programs in defiance of every assurance, agreement, and commitment it has made to the united states and its allies. it has broken all of those commitments. after promising to freeze its plutonium program in 1994, it repeated the benefits of the deal. and then, and then, immediately continued its illicit nuclear activities. in 2005, after years of diplomacy, the dictatorship agreed to ultimately abandon its nuclear programs and return to the treaty on nonproliferation. but it never did, and worse, it tested the very weapons it said it was going to give

the fact that kim jong-un has ordered assassinations and he also cited the death of american auto warmbier who died in the custody of north korea. president trump saying this is a significant move during a cabinet meeting with his top officials today. take a listen. >> today the united states is designating north korea as a state sponsor of terrorists. should have happened a long time ago. should have happened years ago. this designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on north korea and related prns and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime. >> reporter: now, kasie, this reverses something that former president george w. bush did. he lifted the designation of the state sponsor of terror but against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the united states and north korea, president trump is making this move. it is not a surprise, though. it's something that he has been signaling for quite some time. the real question, though, is what will the real world impact be? a lot of experts in the region think in order to really try to pressure north

as we take this action today, our thoughts turn to otto warmbier, wonderful young man, and the countless others so brutally affected by the north korean oppression. this designation will impose further sanctions and penalties on north korea and related persons and supports our maximum pressure campaign to isolate the murderous regime. >> and just perhaps in a nod to diplomacy, secretary of state rex tillerson used some slightly more diplomatic language. >> i think it's really just the latest step in a series of, as you can see, ongoing steps to increase the pressure. i call it the peaceful pressure campaign. the president calls it the maximum pressure campaign. so there's no confusion, they're one in the same. >> do you believe that the united states is running out of diplomatic options to respond to the nuclear threat of north korea? >> no, i do not. >> as to this current tension between the north and the west, especially the u.s., this appeared sunday in a state-run north korea has been affected by what trump said, but the chinese have more direct control over all of this. now it's qui
