UN Security Council slaps North Korea with $1billion penalty

[cancel2 2022]

This is something that ought to have been implemented long ago.

The latest round of UN sanctions on North Korea bans exports of:

Coal (previously capped at $400M)

Seafood (worth estimated $295M)

Iron and iron ore (estimated $251M)

Lead and lead ore (estimated $113M)
