WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday the United States would move to "phase two" if sanctions against North Korea did not work, although he did not specify what that would mean.

"I don't think I'm going to exactly play that card. But we'll have to see. If the sanctions don't work, we'll have to go phase two," Trump told reporters.
