This might have something to do with the reason we let the 15% tariff kick in on China come tomorrow.

WASHINGTON — The United States has seized a North Korean shipping vessel in response to violating American-led sanctions, the Justice Department announced Thursday, a move that is certain to escalate tensions already on the rise between the two nations because of recent North Korean weapons tests.

Prosecutors said the carrier ship, the Wise Honest, was being used to export North Korean coal, a critical sector of the North’s economy that the United States and the United Nations have aggressively imposed sanctions on in an effort to force Pyongyang to end its nuclear weapons program.

This is the first time the United States seized a North Korean cargo vessel for international sanctions violations, the Justice Department said.

“This sanctions-busting ship is now out of service,” John C. Demers, the head of the Justice Department’s national security division, said in a statement.

One can only try so much. Guess Kim isn't serious about relations.

You'd think sooner or later these frickers would wise up, realize a new sheriff is in town. Johnny 9 Nine Inch doesn't play.

I wonder what their response would be if we just banned all imports from them.

This is a textbook case of projection, lol. It's almost comical.

Or not. Like a parent punishing a child doesn’t “end the relationship” Trump punishing Kim may not be the end but a show of firm resolve.

It’s obviously just a result of translation, most Asian words translate to English wonky
