China will continue playing an outsized role in international efforts to deter North Korea from advancing its nuclear weapons program but South Korea and the United States also "have much more work left to do," according to Washington, D.C. attorney Joshua Stanton.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday forwarded legislation to the Senate targeting North Korea's access to currency and foreign exchange services in response to the country's latest test of a nuclear weapon.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure in a voice vote that would require American officials to determine whether to punish foreign banks that maintain ties with North Korea.
U.S. lawmakers will introduce sanctions legislation targeting North Korea's use of criminal proceeds and third-country banks that finance its nuclear program, members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said Tuesday.
