WASHINGTON - The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on two companies for exploiting North Korean overseas labour but joined allies Japan and South Korea in appealing for diplomacy to ease tensions with Pyongyang.
It also blacklisted Beijing Sukbakso, a Chinese company that has handled lodging and remittances for workers. US officials said in 2017 that North Korea had some 100,000 overseas workers, bringing in US$500 million a year. The regime had been pressing unsuccessfully for the United States to remove sanctions in return and had set a New Year's deadline.
