The United States and South Korea are working together to stop oil shipments to North Korea that contravene UN sanctions.
The United States and South Korea have joined forces to try and stop oil shipments to North Korea that contravene UN sanctions. According to Reuters, the team effort was dubbed Enhanced Disruption Task Force and involved more than 30 officials from the two countries.
“These oil deliveries constitute a full-frontal assault against the sanctions regime, which is now on the brink of collapse,” said the former coordinator of the UN panel in charge of enforcing the sanctions, as quoted by the FT. 'Oil is an essential resource for North Korea's nuclear and missile development and military posture,' said the South Korean foreign ministry in a statement this week, as quoted by Reuters.
