Washington has warned North Korea against selling weapons to Russia to prosecute the war against Ukraine.
White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby said the United States is concerned about potential arms deals between Russia and North Korea.
Kirby on Wednesday added that the US believes Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu tried to convince Pyongyang to sell artillery ammunitions to Moscow when he visited North Korea and met with its leader Kim Jong Un in July.
The White House spokesman declined to detail how US officials had gathered the intelligence.
The US has been warning its competitors and adversaries, including China, against helping Russia in its military offensive in Ukraine.
