“Trump administration takes more steps to crack down on North Korea's nuclear weapons development

Tensions between North Korea and the United States continue to elevate with the Trump Administration attempting to curb North Korea nuclear development. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin of the United States claims that they focusing their efforts on stifling those financing North Korea directly. In part they are doing this through sanctioning entities, individuals and even vessels. While this primarily targets North Korean nuclear development, these sanctions attempt to limit all weapons supplied to North Korea.

Questions to Consider:

• How does your country propose the elevation of tensions between these two nations?
• Is your country affected or will your country be affected by these tensions? 
• Is there any relevant/realistic technology outside of the THAAD system that could be effective in targeting a nuclear attack?
