Trump Unveils New North Korea Sanctions at U.N.

Pyongyang, North Korea – July 27, 2011: The Kim Il-Sung Square is named after the founding leader of the DPRK. It opened in August 1954. The square is located on the west bank of the Taedong River, directly opposite of the Juche Tower. The square is the common gathering place for North Korea’s massive military parades. The marks on the ground serve to position the soldiers and units during these parades.

President Donald Trump announced new sanctions on North Korea on Thursday at the United Nations, measures intended to rein in Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions.

The new executive order will target companies that do business with North Korea, which has conducted a series of missile and nuclear tests this summer, alarming world powers by demonstrating it might have developed long range, nuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking the United States mainland.
