U.S. Congress Looks at Tough Sanctions Against N.Korea
US congress is about to pass a tougher sanctions against North Korea, including a “secondary boycott” of firms and banks in third countries engaged in illegal business with the North. The sanctions would be the toughest yet against the renegade country. The sanctions were submitted to Congress by Ed Royce, the chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It would affect business with American corporations by third-country firms dealing with the North and is aimed at making it more difficult for Pyongyang to get the hard currency it needs to develop nuclear weapons and missiles (WMDs).
