US President Barack Obama imposed fresh sanctions on North Korea, further tightening the screws on Pyongyang for its nuclear and missile tests, including the blacklisting of anyone assisting the North over its labor and mineral exports.
The government of North Korea's continuing pursuit of its nuclear and missile programs increasingly imperils the United States and its allies," Obama said in the new executive order. "The order addresses those actions and takes additional steps."
The new measures target the North's government, not its people, and block the property and interests in property of the government in Pyongyang, its ruling Workers' Party and "any person" helping the regime with its nuclear and missile programs, cyber-attacks, human rights abuses and other illicit activities, Obama added.
