Trump orders North Korea sanctions 'announced today' withdrawn, despite there being no new sanctions announced on Friday. It's unclear what he was referring to. Sarah Sanders says he made the move because “President Trump likes Chairman Kim (Jong Un)'
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he was ordering the withdrawal of recently announced North Korea-related sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department.
It was not immediately clear what sanctions Trump was referring to. There were no new U.S. sanctions on North Korea announced on Friday but on Thursday the United States blacklisted two Chinese shipping companies that it said helped North Korea evade sanctions over its nuclear weapons program.
