President Trump says he will be reversing his administration's decision to slap new sanctions on North Korea, ordering them to be withdrawn.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says Trump "likes Chairman Kim and he doesn't think these sanctions will be necessary."

In a tweet, the President says that "It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea."

He then proceeds by saying, "I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!"

The White House did not respond to questions about which sanctions Trump was referring to. Last Thursday, his administration sanctioned two Chinese shipping companies after being suspected of helping North Korea evade sanctions.
