WASHINGTON—The Trump administration will seek to secure a denuclearization deal with North Korea that would be reinforced by congressional approval, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters on June 7.

In doing so, the White House seeks to add the permanency to the deal sought by both sides. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would be assured that President Donald Trump’s successor could not easily scrap it without approval from lawmakers.
