Mr. Pence said Washington believes that a nuclear disarmament agreement on the Korean Peninsula can be achieved peacefully thanks to the Trump administration's new commitment to China.

Previously, the US Vice President warned that Washington would respond to any attack by Pyongyang with "strong and effective" actions.

In addition, Mr. Pence also said that the US will respect the refugee agreement with Australia, in which the US will resettle 1,250 refugees, an agreement that President Trump once described as "silly"./.
