Trump Imposes Sanctions on North Korea;
Kim will ‘tame Trump’
Washington, D.C. – China accounts for 90 percent of North Korea’s trade and there are over 5,000 Chinese companies doing business with North Korea. Earlier this summer, Senator Gardner introduced bipartisan legislation that would ban any entity that does business with North Korea or its enablers from using the United States financial system. The Executive Order reflects Gardner’s legislation and targets entities that Gardner has long called to sanction.
Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO), Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity, released the following statement regarding the Trump Administration’s announcement that they will expand authority to go after individuals, businesses, and banks involved with trade with North Korea.
The actions announced by the Administration today are what I have been calling for, and are a huge step forward in the United States’ efforts to stop a nuclear war from breaking out on the Korean Peninsula. We need to make the choice clear to North Korea’s enablers, wherever they are based: they can do business with the United States, the most powerful economy in the world, or they can do business with an outlaw regime in North Korea. — Gardner

“I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the U.S. pay dearly for his speech,” Kim said in a statement released by the official Korean Central News Agency, which also published a photo of the North Korean leader sitting at his desk holding a piece of paper.
“I am now thinking hard about what response he could have expected when he allowed such eccentric words to trip off his tongue. Whatever Trump might have expected, he will face results beyond his expectation,” Kim said, saying that he would “tame” Trump “with fire.”
