If sanctions on North Korea won't work, we'll go to 'Phase Two'

China angry over sanctions on North Korea

China angry over sanctions on North Korea

Washington has been locked in a nuclear standoff with Pyongyang, which is trying to develop missiles that could deliver an atomic weapon to major United States cities, and the sanctions are created to put the squeeze on North Korea's already precarious economy and fuel supply. In a reference to potential military action, he said such a move "may be a very rough thing, may be very, very unfortunate for the world".

"I don't think we've ever had a better relationship with China than we do right now", Mr Trump said during a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. "But hopefully the sanctions will work".

"We have tremendous support all around the world for what we're doing. If we can't, something will have to happen". "So we'll see", the US President said responding to a question on North Korea.

The Trump administration scored its greatest diplomatic victory so far in September by persuading the United Nations security council to impose its strongest sanctions to date on the Pyongyang regime in response to its sixth nuclear test and a series of long range missile tests. "At the same time, we hope relevant countries act in accordance with Security Council resolutions and worldwide law", it added, without elaborating.

The Treasury Department, in conjunction with the State Department and the U.S. Coast Guard, is issuing a global shipping advisory meant to alert the world to North Korea's "deceptive shipping practices", the official said.

The sanctions target one person, 27 companies and 28 ships registered in China and seven other countries with the intent of eliminating North Korea's illicit shipping and trade.

Depending on the scale of the campaign, the US could consider beefing up the naval and air power of the US Pacific Command, they said.

In addition to China, the department sanctioned ships from Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Marshall Islands, Tanzania, Panama and Comoros.

US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told reporters in Washington on Friday the United States does not rule out boarding ships for inspections.

The Treasury Department published photos of a USA -designated North Korean vessel, Kum Un San 3, which it said used false identifying information and conducted an illicit ship-to-ship transfer, possibly of oil, with a Panama-flagged vessel that was among the ships sanctioned Friday. Officials said the sanctions are meant to further isolate the regime and advance a US -led pressure campaign.

North Korea has been known to falsify and hide information displayed on North Korean vessels and conduct ship-to-ship transfers, now prohibited by the United Nations.

"Those who trade with North Korea do so at their own peril."

The 36-year-old businesswoman and now top aide to her father has been tasked with reaffirming USA ties with South Korea, which have been strained over how to deal with the North.

North Korea announced in November it had successfully conducted a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the United States mainland.
