The two leaders shared a phone call Sunday and their offices released a transcript of their conversation.
"President Trump and President Moon committed to continuing to take steps to strengthen deterrence and defense capabilities, and to maximize economic and diplomatic pressure on North Korea," the White House said in a statement.
Trump also tweeted about the phone call.
"Asked him how Rocket Man is doing," Trump said on Twitter Sunday in an apparent reference to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"Long gas lines forming in North Korea.
Too bad!" "The two leaders agreed to work closely and to put stronger and more effective sanctions and pressure on North Korea in cooperation with the international community," South Korea`s presidential spokesman Park Soo-hyun said.
Additional provocations will only further isolate the country (North Korea) diplomatically and economically, and will eventually lead down the path of its own collapse.
" Talks on military force Kim had told his top officials that the goal of Pyongyang`s efforts "is to establish the equilibrium of real force with the US and make the US rulers dare not talk about military option," according to the nation`s state media.
