United States President Donald Trump has signed an order to prolong sanctions for even one year against North Korea, citing the extraordinary “threat of” representing North nuclear weapons.
Trump extended the sanctions, which were originally imposed in 2008, just days after writing on Twitter that “no longer has nuclear threat from North Korea”.
President Trump met with northeastern leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12th, at a summit that was considered historic and aimed at reducing tensions in the Korean Peninsula.
After the summit, Trump has indicated that sanctions will continue to be in effect and that their removal depends on the progress marked on dislearising the Korean Peninsula.
“The Government's actions and policies in North Korea continue to pose an extraordinary threat to national security, foreign policy and the United States economy”, the decision signed by Trump reports.
The Pentagon has also announced it will suspend joint military exercises with South Korea, thus fulfilling the promise Trump has given Kim during their meeting in Singapore.
