Blinken said the U.S. President Joe Biden has instructed him to review U.S. policy toward North Korea, "to make sure that we're using the most effective tools to advance the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula."

He added that those tools could include additional sanctions, coordination and cooperation with allies and partners, and diplomatic incentives.
