A nation must think before it acts.
Associate Scholar Benjamin Katzeff Silberstein Cited in Politifact on UN North Korea Sanctions
President Donald Trump applauded a new resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council to impose sanctions against North Korea and labeled it as the largest economic punishment yet on the nation.
“The United Nations Security Council just voted 15-0 to sanction North Korea. China and Russia voted with us. Very big financial impact!” Trump tweeted Aug. 5.
He detailed the impact in a follow-up tweet: “United Nations Resolution is the single largest economic sanctions package ever on North Korea. Over one billion dollars in cost to N.K.”
