The U.S. announced new sanctions on entities and ships it says are helping North Korea sell coal in violation of international restrictions meant to reign in Kim Jong Un’s nuclear weapons program.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday it was sanctioning six entities, including China-based Weihai Huijiang Trade Ltd. as Always Smooth Ltd and Good Siblings Ltd., which are registered in the U.K. Hong Kong-based Silver Bridge Shipping Co-HKG, Korea Daizin Trading Corporation and Vietnam-based Thinh Cuong Co. were also targeted.
