Excerpt
Excerpt: U.S. economic sanctions are imposed against North Korea for four primary reasons: (1) North Korea poses a threat to U.S. national security, as determined by the President and renewed annually under the terms of the Trading with the Enemy Act and National Emergencies Act; (2) North Korea is designated by the Secretary of State as a state sponsor or supporter of international terrorism, pursuant to the Export Administration Act of 1979; (3) North Korea is a Marxist-Leninist state, with a Communist government, and stated as such in the Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, and further restricted under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961; and (4) North Korea has been found by the State Department to have engaged in proliferation of weapons of mass destruction – to date only missile proliferation – pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act, Export Administration Act of 1979, and Iran Proliferation Act of 2000.
