North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plans to travel to Russia this month to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.
North Korea supplied infantry rockets and missiles to Russia last year for use by the privately controlled Wagner group.
"As we have warned publicly, arms negotiations between Russia and the DPRK are actively advancing," National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said, using an acronym for the North. Last week the White House said that Russia was already in secret, active talks with the North to acquire a range of munitions and supplies for Moscow's fight in Ukraine.
Watson said Monday that the United States urged North Korea "to cease its arms negotiations with Russia and abide by the public commitments that Pyongyang has made to not provide or sell arms to Russia."
