"For example, we both agree that our companies should not do business with any United Nations -designated North Korean entities", said Tillerson - adding more positive spin on the summit later when he said two delegations also had a "frank exchange of views" on the South China Sea, but that China said it was committed to resolving the disputes there peacefully.
There was no immediate word from the family about why relatives declined an autopsy, which may have shed more light on the cause of the neurological injuries that left him in a coma. "It doesn't take much to get in trouble in North Korea".
"China understands that the United States regards North Korea as our top security threat", Tillerson said. The former University of Virginia student had been visiting North Korea on a tour group when he was detained, sentenced to 15 years hard labor for subversion, and held for more than 17 months.
"The emotional strain was high, especially during the early part of my detention when I was coached on how to formulate my admission of guilt", Fowle said, adding, "I was never physically abused".
Doctors said Warmbier suffered extensive loss of brain tissue and "profound weakness and contraction" of his muscles, arms and legs.
The China-based travel agency that organized a trip to North Korea for an American college student who died after being released in a coma from North Korean detention said it would no longer take US citizens to the country. Patients in this condition can open their eyes but do not respond to commands. But they found no evidence that he had contracted botulism, casting doubt on North Korea's claim that he fell into a coma after contracting botulism and taking a sleeping pill. He was returned home last week in a vegetative state, and USA doctors reportedly found no signs of botulism.

This is similar to deals struck with the Spanish taxman by fellow Argentinians Javier Mascherano and Lionel Messi previous year . Barcelona star Lionel Messi was sentenced to a 21-month jail sentence and 2.09-million-euro fine past year for tax fraud.
The senator, from the Cincinnati area, said he planned to attend Warmbier's funeral in Wyoming, a Cincinnati suburb. He was salutatorian of his high school class and was on the soccer team.
"All of us in the university community are profoundly saddened by his death and we are outraged by the circumstances that lead to it", Kenny read from the statement.
Relatives have said they were told by U.S. envoys that North Korean officials claimed Warmbier contracted botulism after his trial and lapsed into a coma after taking a sleeping pill. He was leaving North Korea on January 2, 2016, when he was detained at the airport. US officials are reportedly concerned that an anticipated sixth nuclear weapons test may occur during a meeting between USA and Chinese officials on June 21. Almost all Americans who have gone to North Korea have left without incident.
In meetings at the State Department involving US and Chinese diplomats and defense chiefs, North Korea was to get "top billing", according to Susan Thornton, the senior USA diplomat for East Asia. North Korea last tested a nuclear bomb in September, but it has conducted repeated missile tests since and vowed to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland, putting it at the forefront of Trump's security worries. Three other Americans are now being held captive, and according to the Associated Press, the arrest of one of them, teacher Tony Kim, caused Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to explore the potential of a travel ban in March.
The calls for a response come as spy satellites detected new activity at North Korea's underground nuclear test site for the first time in several weeks, according to two United States officials who spoke to CNN.
"We want to see three other Americans who were unjustly detained brought home as soon as possible", Nauert said. North Korea accuses Washington and South Korea of sending spies to overthrow its government.
