North Korea Faces New U.S. Sanctions; State Media Praises Trump
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Treasury Department has moved to impose a new round of sanctions on
North Korea. The penalties, known as secondary sanctions, would target
banks that conduct financial transactions with North Korea, a move that
could largely impact Chinese firms. This comes as presumptive Republican
presidential nominee Donald Trump appears to have won support from North
Korea. An editorial in North Korean state media praised Trump as a "wise
politician."
