China stops all oil exports to North Korea in rare move as sanctions take hold

China did not export any oil products to North Korea in November as U.S. sanctions against the isolated country continue take effect, according to a report Tuesday from Reuters.

The move comes as North Korea ratchets up ongoing nuclear and missile programs despite years of U.N. resolutions prohibiting the actions. U.N. Security Council imposed a new batch of limits of oil products earlier this month to the communist country.

For a minute I thought this might have something to do with the buffoon in the Oval Office.

Nah....

Wow, that is actually a pretty big deal. China has been the main thing keeping North Korea afloat. If they really start to cut off their support, that could have a major impact.

Everything is looking like Trump’s matserful staretgy on NK is now paying off.

After decades of lazy and corrupt Presidents passing the buck in these Marxist madmen, we finally have an Alpha Male in charge who will resolve this problem.

God Bless President Trump, the hero the Republic has needed for over a century

Why sell them oil overtly when you can sell them oil covertly at a very much higher price?....................

I was just about to link that. And they’re our partners in “free trade”. We’ll see if President Trump means what he says.

There was a report yesterday of Chinese tankers transferring oil to NK tankers. I don’t think China or Russia are going to obey sanctions.
