Through the working group, the United States of America, Japan, and the ROK continue to coordinate on a wide range of trilateral actions, including efforts to restrict DPRK actors' access to key jurisdictions in which they generate revenue and prevent private sector companies from being exploited by DPRK targeting.  The three sides also discussed future engagement with the AI industry, autonomous sanctions, and law enforcement cooperation.
