President Donald Trump said Friday that he would scrap action his administration took only a day earlier to crack down on companies accused of helping North Korea evade sanctions.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> "It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea," the president tweeted on Friday .
On Thursday, the Treasury designated two China-based shipping companies that it said has aided Pyongyang in circumventing U.S. and international sanctions. The U.S. and its allies have used those economic measures to push North Korea to dismantle its nuclear and missile programs. Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un have met face to face twice, but left a summit in Vietnam last month without reaching a deal on denuclearization.
Trump's surprise reversal in a tweet marks a departure from his administration's messaging a day earlier. In a tweet Thursday after the Treasury's announcement, White House National Security Advisor John Bolton said"everyone should take notice and review their own activities to ensure that they are not involved in North Korea's sanctions evasion.
A Treasury Department spokesman did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the president's tweet. The Pentagon referred all queries about it to the White House.
Professional courtesy from a wanna be dictator to another dictator. Sure thing no collusion, or obstruction here. Just pure and simple destruction of USA values
When are you officially going to apologize to Trump for all the mud you threw regarding the Russia allegations Where is your integrity ?
A good gesture will help to resolve the issue that has troubled world peace for over half a century!
And you know this how?
Orange man will remove new North Korea-related sanctions because he 'likes' little man.
JoeSquawk what’s up w these guys ?
Sounds about right from a Russian Conspiracy Network.
It’s called a carrot.
Says you.
That’s right he’s President so he can!
Trump is setting the stage for future wars. Venezuela stops selling the United States oil and all of sudden we car about their 'people'....but in NK we know for a fact people are basically slaves and we do nothing but let their leader build nukes...?
This should make Trump supporters whose fathers fought in the Korean War very happy. Putin can check off one more box.
dbongino No, because Trump knows something that you DONT! You can second guess all you want and be wrong and out maneuvered all the time! Good luck losers and haters!
wow
OMG

U.S. Tightens North Korea Sanctions After Failed Trump-Kim SummitThe Trump administration took its first steps to tighten economic sanctions on North Korea since last month’s summit meeting in Hanoi by listing two Chinese shipping companies as sanctions violators. How tragically ironic that after all the grandstanding by Trump for which he apparently expected a Nobel Peace Prize, it seems that things are no further forward in resolving anything related to North Korea. Dear, If Someone is saying 'He can CHANGE the World in RIGHT direction'. How would you react? 1- One Mad, Deranged or Mental health patient is sending Junk tweets? 2- Let him try something New? Why you shouldn't believe him? May be Its happening first time in this World? Someone please Tweet me back... like... 'What The Hell Are You Talking About'
