The U.S. government has announced that it has added three groups, including a North Korean man and a trading company, to the sanctions list for asset freezes, etc., for supporting North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile development programs. ..
The U.S. Treasury issued a statement on the 27th, adding a North Korean man, a trading company based in China and North Korea, and two Russian banks to the list of sanctions for freezing assets in the United States. I made it clear that I did.
Among them, the North Korean man was active in Belarus as a representative of the related organization of the "Second Institute of Natural Sciences", which is said to have been responsible for the nuclear and missile development plan in North Korea.
Trading companies based in China and North Korea were also involved in procuring parts for hydraulic equipment, which is also used for military purposes, as well as various electronic components.
And the two Russian banks were dealing with North Korean organizations, which are subject to sanctions by the US government.
North Korea has entered this year and has repeatedly launched ballistic missiles including ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile class, and related countries such as the United States say that North Korea is near and may launch its seventh nuclear test. I'm still vigilant.
"The U.S. government will steadily implement sanctions and call on North Korea to return to its diplomatic path and abandon its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles," the U.S. Treasury said in a statement. ..
