UAE Announces Plan to Cut Ties with North Korea
|Here is the latest development in regards to drying up foreign currency to the Kim regime:
The United Arab Emirates said Thursday it would stop issuing new visas to North Korean workers, becoming the latest Gulf country to limit Pyongyang’s ability to evade sanctions and raise money abroad amid tensions with the U.S.
A statement by the UAE Foreign Ministry did not address the hundreds of North Korean laborers already working in the Emirates. A call to the UAE’s Embassy in Washington was not immediately returned.
The statement said the UAE would pull its non-resident ambassador to North Korea as well as stop North Koreans from opening new businesses in the Emirates, a federation of seven sheikhdoms on the Arabian Peninsula that is a staunch U.S. ally. [Associated Press]
You can read more at the link, but it just makes you wonder why the US government did not put this type of pressure on these governments before to cut ties?
Look at that setup, NK’s have a permanent globe of 50’s cheese around them everywhere they go. :silly:
GI, no previous US President was ever a real businessman. Neither they nor their appointees understood how to sock it to the nork wallet.
