The United States imposes new sanctions linked to North Korea, targeting 10 people and one entity The US Treasury Department says the entity targeted by the sanctions is the "First Center for Financial and Technical Development" and six of the people covered by the sanctions are linked to that entity. While two of the targets hold Russian citizenship, the rest appear to be from North Korea, according to Reuters. The sanctions come at a time when US President Donald Trump has shown great enthusiasm for resuming talks with North Korea, while Pyongyang has shown little interest in diplomacy aimed at containing its nuclear program. However, earlier in October, the US president played down the idea of ​​holding a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in China next month.
