U.S. announces first new North Korea sanctions since failed summit.
The U.S. Treasury Department also issued an updated advisory that listed 67 vessels that it said had engaged in illicit transfers of refined petroleum with North Korean tankers or were believed to have exported North Korean coal.
The United States has led international efforts to press North Korea through sanctions to give up its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The official said that financial as well as shipping companies risked U.S. action if they were found to be in violation of sanctions. On Monday, two senior U.S. senators called for the Trump administration to correct a slowing pace of American sanctions designations on North Korea, saying there had been a marked decline in such actions during the past year of U.S. diplomatic engagement with Pyongyang.
