오바마 미 대통령, 새 대북 제재 행정명령 발동
We start with news that U.S. President Barack Obama has issued an executive order imposing tough new sanctions on the North Korean regime.
The so-called 'secondary boycott' measures are extensive,... blocking property of the government of North Korea and the Workers' Party of Korea, and prohibiting certain transactions with respect to North Korea.
They aim to further pressure Pyongyang for its provocations like its recent nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
At a press briefing in Washington Wednesday,... White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the executive order enables the U.S. to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2270 and the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016.
He said the U.S. and the global community will not tolerate North Korea's illicit nuclear and ballistic missile activities.
He added the U.S. will continue to impose costs on North Korea until it complies with its international obligations.
Plus,... in some news just in,... the U.S. Treasury Department has blacklisted two more individuals, 15 entities and 20 ships marked for sanctions.
