Why does the United States provide the humanitarian aid to North Korea?
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL ONE: Actually, the North Koreans have – had declined to accept humanitarian aid from the United States, and we were forced to pull out our humanitarian assistance, and we think that’s unfortunate. It’s a reflection of the way the regime treats its own people. But we’re very clear that our quarrel is not with the North Korean people. We are not seeking to cause a humanitarian tragedy in North Korea. We’re seeking to get the regime to end its nuclear program. And I think this is something that all of the countries in the region have agreed, is that our goal is not to create suffering or destabilize the country. Our goal is to make clear that for the leadership, that they are not going to be able to achieve their objectives of somehow advancing the interests of North Korea by pursuing their nuclear program or their missile program.
