The United States has already imposed sanctions on organizations that facilitate arms deals between North Korea and Russia, according to State Department spokesman Matthew Miller.
If the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un leads to an arms exchange between the two countries, the USA “will not hesitate to impose sanctions”. This was announced by State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, CNN writes.
“We have already taken a number of measures to impose sanctions against entities that mediate arms sales between North Korea and Russia, and we will not hesitate to take additional measures if necessary,” he said.
According to Miller, the United States did not raise the issue of Russia’s potential to supply nuclear technology to North Korea as well as China. However, its potential cannot be ignored.
Miller said Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised the issue of North Korea’s nuclear program and ballistic missile program in his meetings with Chinese officials in Beijing.
Journalists noted that before the Putin-Kim meeting, US officials warned that Russia and North Korea were “actively advancing” a possible arms deal that could lead to Pyongyang providing weapons to Moscow for a war against Ukraine.
Let us recall that Kim Jong-un supported Putin in the fight against the “evil of imperialism” in Ukraine. According to the North Korean leader, now the “first priority” for North Korea is relations with the Russian Federation.
Kim toasted the health of “Comrade Putin” and the victory of “Comrade Putin” and said, “The Russian army and people will definitely win a great victory in the sacred struggle to punish the great evil that claims hegemony and has expansionist illusions.” Great Russia.”
