Trump declares North Korea state sponsor of terror; readies new sanctions

The Trump administration readied new sanctions Tuesday on North Korea, a day after declaring it a state sponsor of terrorism in a move to put additional pressure on Pyongyang's nuclear program. As part of its 'maximum pressure' campaign, President Donald Trump said the Treasury Department would impose more sanctions on North Korea and 'related persons' starting Tuesday, without hinting who or what would be targeted. The move is part of rolling effort to deprive Pyongyang of funds for its nuclear and missile programs and leave it internationally isolated.
