US President Donald Trump has announced fresh sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear weapons programme.
He has given the US treasury the authority to target specific companies and financial institutions conducting business with the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK).
He also said China’s Central Bank had instructed other Chinese banks to stop doing business with the DPRK.
The move comes less than two weeks after the United Nations approved new sanctions against Pyongyang. source – BBC
