The White House's stance on North Korea's denuclearization goal saw renewed discussion after Trump asserted in recent months that North Korea possessed 57 powerful nuclear weapons, even though he did not provide an answer regarding whether his approach might change to focus on reducing tensions instead of complete denuclearization.
