McCaul Statement on Latest Sanctions Against North Korean Regime

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Michael McCaul (TX-10), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the below statement following the Treasury Department's announcement of sanctions against the North Korean regime:

Congressman McCaul: "Despite their ongoing propaganda charade at the Winter Olympics, North Korea has no interest in ending its destabilizing behavior and abuse of its citizens. Today, the Treasury Department announced the largest sanctions yet against Pyongyang for their illicit nuclear program and dangerous ballistic missile advancements. These sanctions will expose and degrade vital sources of funding by targeting fuel exports, vessels, shipping companies, and other entities that allow them to evade current sanctions and fund their rogue activities. I hope President Trump will continue to increase pressure and use all options available to end North Korean nuclear adventurism and threats against the United States and our allies."
