Trump cancels hours-old sanctions on North Korea
President #DonaldTrump undercut his own Treasury Department on Friday with a sudden announcement that he had rolled back newly imposed #NorthKorea #Sanctions, appearing to overrule national security experts as a favor to #KimJongUn, the North Korean leader.
The move, announced on #Twitter, was a remarkable display of dissension within the Trump administration. It created confusion at the highest levels of the federal government, just as the president’s aides were seeking to pressure North Korea into returning to negotiations over dismantling its #Nuclear weapons program. “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,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!”
The Treasury Department announced new sanctions on Friday against Iran and #Venezuela, but not North Korea.

Trump administration announces new measures against Cuba
The Trump administration is reimposing limits on the amount of money Cuban Americans can send to relatives on the island and ordering new restrictions on US citizen, nonfamily travel to #Cuba, national security adviser #JohnBolton said Wednesday.
The new measures, outlined by Bolton in a #Miami speech, follow an announcement by Secretary of State #MikePompeo that the administration will lift restraints that have prevented lawsuits from #US citizens seeking compensation for property expropriated by the Cuban revolutionary government that seized power there six decades ago.
Bolton also announced new #Sanctions against #Venezuela and #Nicaragua that will bar parts of their banking systems from US dollar transactions.

Iran's foreign minister to visit North Korea
#Iran’s foreign minister says he will visit #NorthKorea as both countries struggle under #US #Sanctions. Iran’s official IRNA news agency on Sunday quoted #MohammadJavadZarif as saying that the visit is being planned and a date will be announced soon.
The US has ramped up sanctions on Iran since President #DonaldTrump withdrew from its 2015 nuclear accord with world powers last year. The US has tightened sanctions on North Korea to try to persuade it to give up its nuclear weapons. An Iranian parliamentary delegation visited North Korea in December, and North Korea’s top diplomat, #RiYongHo, visited Iran in August.

US Seizes North Korean Ship for Violating Sanctions
The #US has seized a #NorthKorea'n shipping vessel that was violating American law and international sanctions, the #USDoJ announced Thursday, a move certain to escalate tensions already on the rise because of recent North Korean weapons tests.
Prosecutors said the carrier ship, the Wise Honest, was being used to export North Korean coal, a critical sector of the North’s economy that the United States and the #UN have aggressively imposed sanctions on in an effort to force Pyongyang to end its #Nuclear weapons program. The ship was also being used to import heavy machinery.
It was the first time the United States has seized a North Korean cargo vessel for international #Sanctions violations, the Justice Department said. Officials said the seizure is part of a broad plan to enforce the international sanctions and ultimately pressure North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program.

North Korea demands return of cargo ship seized by US
#NorthKorea has called the #US seizure of a North Korean cargo ship involved in banned coal exports an "unlawful robbery" and demanded the ship to be immediately returned. Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday carried a statement by an unnamed foreign ministry spokesman who accused the United States of betraying the spirit of a summit agreement last June between North Korean leader #KimJongUn and President #DonaldTrump.
Kim and Trump then agreed to a vague statement calling for a #Nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and improved bilateral ties. Their second meeting collapsed in February over mismatched demands in #Sanctions relief and disarmament. The "Wise Honest" was detained in April 2018 as it traveled toward #Indonesia and arrived in #AmericanSamoa on Saturday.

US sanctions on Huawei send stocks reeling; yields fall
#Europe'an stocks fell, government bond yields slipped and the #Japan'ese yen firmed on Thursday after the #US government hit #China telecoms giant #Huawei with severe #Sanctions, further straining Sino-US trade ties.
An index of European shares fell as much as 0.5% in early European trading with the #Germany stock index down 0.4%. US stock futures were down 0.4%, pointing to a weak start on #WallStreet.
The broad weakness in European markets was somewhat offset by small gains in Chinese and #HongKong stock indexes leading to only marginal losses on a global stock index as investors expected state authorities to step in to support the market and stabilize sentiment.
