US Prepares For "Aggressive" High-Seas Crackdown On North Korea Sanctions Violators
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-...ions-violators

QUESTION: Can you rule out the United States boarding and inspecting North Korean ships...

MNUCHIN: No, I -- I cannot rule that out.



"Today's actions will significantly hinder North Korea's ability to conduct evasive maritime activities that facilitate illicit coal and fuel transports,"

"Whether they’re Russian ships, whether they’re Chinese ships, we don’t care whose ships they are. If we have intelligence that people are doing things, we will put sanctions on them."

China and Russia, which have blocked U.S. efforts at the United Nations to win approval for use of force in North Korea interdiction operations, are likely to oppose new actions if they see the United States as overstepping. A Chinese official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said such steps should only be taken under United Nations auspices.

Rules of engagement are also being mapped out to avoid armed confrontation at sea, said officials. Directly boarding ships for inspections has not been ruled out, according to Mnuchin.

In December we reported that Russian tankers were reportedly caught selling oil to North Korea on at least three occasions via transferring cargoes at sea during October and November.

China, meanwhile, was allegedly caught by U.S. spy satellites selling oil to North Korea in October.

"The illicit trade started after a UN Security Council resolution in September drastically capped North Korea’s imports of refined petroleum products.”
Meanwhile, on paper, China’s trade with North Korea virtually collapsed.

The US. Treasury Department sanctioned an additional six North Korean shipping and trading companies and 20 of their ships after the satellite pictures surfaced. In the above picture, the North Korean ship named Ryesonggang 1, was easily identified and connected to the illegal sale of oil from China.

Interdiction in Chinese waters is something likely to be avoided, however - as the U.S. will likely inform Chinese authorities of banned cargo transfers and ask them to perform inspections, one official said.

David Shear, former deputy secretary of defense for Asia for the Obama administration said “It’s probably impossible to stop everything, but you can raise the cost to North Korea.”

China says new US sanctions threaten cooperation over North Korea
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news...-korea-9988622


BEIJING: China reacted with anger on Saturday (Feb 24) saying the unilateral targeting of Chinese firms and people risked harming cooperation on the problem.

Trump warned of a "phase two" that could be "very, very unfortunate for the world" if the steps did not work.

China has repeatedly expressed opposition to any sanctions against North Korea not done within the framework of the United Nations, and insisted it is fully enforcing the existing - and already very tough - sanctions.

What could possibly go wrong? It's not like China has ever acted militarily on behalf of North Korea in order to protect her own interests before, right? Hey, wait ...
