<p class="title">North Korea must get rid of its nukes, President Donald Trump said today and expressed hope that the US would be able to deal in a very open and honourable fashion with the reclusive nation over the issue.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Trump's remarks came during a joint news conference with the French President Emanuel Macron at the White House.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Trump said his administration had made no concession to North Korea.</p>.<p class="bodytext">“A lot of concessions have already been made. We have made no concessions, despite some of the media saying that I've made concessions. I haven't even discussed a concession. Other than the fact that meeting is a great thing,” Trump told reporters.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Trump said he believed in complete denuclearization.</p>.<p class="bodytext">“It means they get rid of their nukes. Very simple, they get rid of their nukes and nobody else would say it. It'd be very easy for me to make a simple deal and claim victory, I don't want to do that. I want them to get rid of their nukes,” he said in response to a question.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Trump has agreed to meet the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The venue of the meeting has not been decided yet, but it would not be in the United States.</p>.<p class="bodytext">“I hope that we will be able to deal in a very open and honorable fashion with North Korea. I started a process, and when I did everybody thought I was doing it absolutely wrong,” he said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The United States, he said, put the strongest sanctions on a country that it ever has had. China supported the US effort, he said, as he praised Chinese President Xi Jinping.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The two leaders also hinted about a new deal with Iran that includes a solution to the Syrian crisis, as the two leaders to contain Iran in the region and prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Trump, in fact, warned Iran of grave consequences if it threatened the United States.</p>.<p class="bodytext">France and the United States, Trump said agree that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, and that regime must end its support of terrorism. “No matter where you go in the Middle East, you see the fingerprints of Iran behind problems,” he alleged.</p>.<p class="bodytext">He also said countries in the Middle East, who have a lot of money, need to pay for the security that America provides to them.</p>.<p class="bodytext">“Countries that are in the area, some of which are immensely wealthy, would not be there except for the United States and to a lesser extent France. But they wouldn't be there except for the United States, they wouldn't last a week,” Trump said.</p>.<p class="bodytext">“We are protecting them. They have to now step up and pay for what's happening. Because I don't think France or the United States should be liable for the tremendous cost. The United States is embarrassingly into the Middle East as of a few months ago,” he said in response to a question.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The US has spent USD 7 trillion for the war in the middle east.</p>.<p class="bodytext">“And when we want to build our infrastructure, everybody says that we want to be careful with our money. When we want to fix a highway or we want to build schools and lots of other things, tunnels, bridges, they say oh, let's be careful with our money,” he said. </p>
