US to announce new sanctions vs Pyongyang

SEOUL/WASHINGTON— The United States is due to announce its largest package of sanctions yet against North Korea to further pressure Pyongyang over its nuclear and missile program, as South Korea readies itself for more talks with the North’s officials. The new US sanctions will be announced while Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, is visiting South Korea to attend a dinner with Moon and the closing ceremony of the Games. In addition to a dinner for Ivanka, the Blue House has planned a small traditional Korean music performance for Ivanka’s delegation.
