Ship headed to N. Korea seized

SOUTH KOREA HAS seized a ship suspected of illegally supplying oil to North Korea that’s at the center of a brewing international spat between China and President Trump.

Authorities in Seoul revealed Friday that they had taken the Lighthouse Winmore, a tanker registered in Hong Kong that was seen in photos from October next to a vessel from the isolated hermit kingdom.

The Lighthouse Winmore allegedly transferred 600 tons of oil, part of what the newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported was a trend of Chinese ships transferring oil 30 times since October.

News of the alleged transfers on Thursday led Trump to say that China had been “caught RED HANDED” getting around sanctions on North Korea meant to help curb their nuclear program.

He said in a tweet that he was “very disappointed” in Beijing and told the New York Times Thursday he was reconsidering his “soft” trade stance with China, which has denied any involvement.
