DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Slashes at U.S. Adoption of Independent Sanctions Law

Pyongyang, August 4 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by the KCNA on August 3 as regards the fact that the U.S. has rigged up another heinous sanctions law to suffocate the DPRK: On August 2, U.S. President Trump signed the "Countering America's Adversaries through Sanctions Act" which recently passed the U.S. Congress. Thus, additional sanctions against the DPRK, Russia and Iran were formally adopted as the law. The U.S. adoption of sanctions law against the DPRK is no more than last-ditch efforts by those who are terrified at the series of measures taken by the DPRK in rapid succession to develop a sophisticated nuclear force. The act of the U.S. which is so fond of rigging up sanctions law and brandishing the sanctions club against other sovereign states is no better than that of a hooligan which cannot be allowed by international law as well. The sanctions campaign by the U.S. might work on the other countries, but never with the DPRK. The U.S. sanctions provide further justification for the DPRK's measures to intensify the development of its nuclear force. The U.S. had better deliberate on the ways to ensure its home security rather than wasting its energy on the hopeless sanctions racket against the DPRK. -0-
