and nsa, retired general miked hayden. north korea has shown no willingness to negotiate. it said it will not end its missile program. is it worth the u.s. trying director face-to-face talks? of course it is, jake. there are only two off ramps here. one is going to war and one is sitting down at some table with the north koreans and developing some mutual way ahead. both of those are ugly options, make no mistake about it. jake, it s interesting, too, i think the north koreans just conducted the least provocative test they could conduct and still meet their operational needs. in other words, what i m trying to suggest to you here, jake, although there is probably some messaging involved in this missile launch. this is part of a testing program. they are intend to getting to this place, the capable missile, the capable weapon, and i don t think they re going to be willing to talk until they get to that place and then after that we ll see what develops.

which is not much of a surprise. the u.s. has very limited means to stop north korea from its testing program. the best we can do is capitalize on these actions by increasing the price to kim jong-un. i think this latest nuclear test, and if there is another icbm test, gives us a good opportunity to work with china to strengthen economic sanctions at the u.n., and i expect we ll see another u.n. resolution with stronger sanctions in the near future. you and ambassador nikki haley said the strongest sanctions possible would be really the only thing that could stop north korea. what might that look like, the strongest sanctions? well, there are a range of sanctions that haven t been imposed yet. obviously the most potent would be a complete embargo on trade and investment in north korea. that s unlikely, i think, but one could still sanction certain sectors such as oil imports from north korea, textile exports. there are still limits on
