b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Treasury Department on Wednesday targeted three Chinese, Russian and
Singaporean shipping firms for violating financial sanctions meant to cut
off foreign aid to North Korea’s economy.
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), which administers
sanctions, banned three shipping companies and one Russian national from the
U.S financial system and froze any of their assets based in the country.
The new penalties are the Treasury Department’s latest effort to punish
North Korea’s economic benefactors as the Trump administration attempts to
cement a nuclear disarmament deal with the Kim regime.
“Treasury will continue to implement existing sanctions on North Korea, and
will take action to block and designate companies, ports, and vessels that
facilitate illicit shipments and provide revenue streams to the DPRK,” said
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. |
