  "summary": "The Department of State has reaffirmed the United States' commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea, according to a spokesperson responding to inquiries from Yonhap News Agency. This reaffirmation comes amid growing uncertainty over President Donald Trump's intentions regarding denuclearization following his recent meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The spokesperson's statement was made in response to concerns that the U.S. might shift its policy focus towards goals other than denuclearization, such as arms control or tension reduction. A U.S. official also confirmed to Yonhap that there has been no change in U.S. policy regarding the denuclearization goal.",
