In a tweet, President Trump rolled back his administration’s new round of sanctions aimed at forcing North Korea to end its nuclear program.
“President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn’t think these sanctions will be necessary,” she said.
“Treasury will continue to enforce our sanctions,” he added, “and we are making it explicitly clear that shipping companies employing deceptive tactics to mask illicit trade with North Korea expose themselves to great risk.” Trump often surprises his staff with his tweets, but the stakes get much higher when his bursts involve the U.S. relationship with North Korea, an outlaw nuclear nation that has been among the United States’ foremost adversaries.
“I’ve been working on sanctions policy for 15+ years. Don’t recall ever seeing a president overrule a Treasury announcement AFTER it was announced,” tweeted Mark Dubowitz, chief executive of the right-leaning Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
