US President Donald Trump has said that he intended to designate North Korea as a state sponsor of terror.
Trump on Monday said the step is long overdue and part of the US "maximum pressure campaign" against Pyongyang, Xinhua news agency reported.
White House officials previously blamed the Asian nation for killing a man at an airport in Malaysia and murdering US citizen Otto Warmbier, both denied by Pyongyang.
North Korea , which was removed from the list of state sponsors of terror in 2008, was expected to join again with Iran, Sudan and Syria.
