U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday Washington will continue to work with South Korea to limit North Korea's development of nuclear and missile programs.

In a speech prepared for a bilateral meeting with South Korean counterpart Choo Kyung-ho, she said the two will explore a price cap on Russia oil aimed at limiting revenues flowing to Moscow and other ways to hold Russia accountable for its war against Ukraine.
