While Kim Jong-un continues to test his military might, the North Korean dictator is waging a war of words with Gardner.
During an interview with National Public Radio earlier this month, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington would "obviously" like to solve the issue through direct talks, but that North Korea had to decide whether they were "ready to talk to us about the right agenda".
According to a statement from the university, Kim Hak-Song was working at PUST's agricultural farm.
USA officials say they expect the sanctions will also make it harder for North Korea to do business with global financial institutions. He believes numerous citizens would refuse to fight for him if a military conflict breaks out.
Analysts say North Korea often attempts to use foreign detainees to wrest outside concessions, which in the past have sometimes involved high-profile American missions sent to secure the release of detainees. He is the one who has condemned the ruthless North Korean dictatorship but at the same time advocated the improvement of the bond between both counterparts.

Song is, however, fearful that Kim will invade South Korea.
Not much is known about the professor's case, though Reuters cited online posts where he identified himself as a Christian missionary.
The detainee, the report added, was identified as Kim Hak-song, who was a United States professor working at the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology. "This is wrong", Lee said.
While a travel warning already was in effect for USA nationals, the State Department offered a more detailed statement about the pitfalls of heading to North Korea.
North Korea has learnt from U.S. military interventions in countries like Afghanistan and Libya that they attack and suppress only "weak" nations and thus, the only way to protect the North is by bolstering its nuclear capabilities, Pyongyang ambassador to the United Kingdom said on Tuesday (9 May).
The so-called track two talks would be the first since US President Donald Trump took office in January and come at a time of tensions over North Korea's efforts to develop a nuclear missile that can hit the United States.
