The Secretary of State may take such actions as are necessary to induce countries on the list required by section 201(b)(3) to take measures to diplomatically and economically pressure the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Actions described in subsection
(a)may include— reduction of the diplomatic presence in the United States of countries on the list required by section 201(b)(3); and reduction of the diplomatic presence of the United States in those countries. Not less than 15 days before taking any action under subsection (a), the Secretary shall consult with the appropriate congressional committees with respect to the action. It is the sense of Congress that inaction by certain countries in the Indo-Pacific region to reduce cooperation with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea hinders the deepening of strategic relationships with the United States.
