US imposes sanctions on three companies and two individuals for 'illicitly' generating income for North Korea | CNN Politics

The US Treasury Department on Wednesday imposed sanctions on three companies and two individuals for “illicitly” generating income for the North Korean government. The sanctions come after months of internationally condemned missile launches by Pyongyang – the most recent of which took place last month.

In a separate statement, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted that Wednesday’s “action further aligns U.S. sanctions with our international partners.” “The European Union previously designated Chilsong, Paekho, Pak, and Hwang for engaging in sanctions evasion and being responsible for supporting the DPRK’s unlawful nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” he said.

'Unlawful.' Calling everyone else wrong, even when you're doing the exact same thing, is truly the American way.

Плевать на ваши санкции. Красавчик.

Nuclear weapons are definitely a deterrent. North Korea has enjoyed peace.

Sanctions no....actions

Sanctions here and there!! What are the achievements of this Sanctions None......

Bring Nuclear weapons into South Korea, & watch how quickly China takes away North Korea weapons!

Why are these types of leaders allowed to exist? ..that threaten humanity..yet give some poor shmuck 25 to life for a robbery.

Now Kim won't even sleep properly.

Please, can sanctions make a mad man sane?

I bet them sanctions have got him worried ..... The US sanctions mean nothing to a country that's been excluded for years. If I were Kim ...I would announce sanctions on the USA ..it will have the same effect

😂😂😂

There’s nothing worse then a dictator and it’s people eating bark off trees while a missile gets vaulted in the air every time anything flys by. I don’t think anyone anywhere does this.

So they sanctioned China? Because China's the reason the sanctions never work.

Good for Kim. His rations must have been increased.

Weakness invites dictators!

And what will the sanctions do? Russia is better off than before the sanctions.

Good.
