Trump announces new executive order targeting those who trade with North Korea


Donald Trump has acted unilaterally and has signed an executive order that puts more sanctions on North Korea by having more control over business that choose to trade with North Korea. His actions have prompted China's banks to demand other banks do not do business with the North Korean government. I think that this move is good in terms of showing North Korea that the US is not messing around, and it's a way for us to use our Superpower status- but I worry about how North Korea might respond in return, especially after the already controversial U.N speech made by President Trump. I cannot imagine that we will have to wait very long before there is a response from North Korea, and I cannot imagine that the president will be very happy with what happens next.
