President Obama imposes tough sanctions on North Korea

In spite of repeated warnings from the global community, North Korea has continued to go ahead with its experimenting with nuclear arsenals - it claimed to have tested its first hydrogen bomb on Jan. 6 and followed it up by launching a satellite on a rocket on Feb. 7. Obviously, it has tested the patience of the world to the limit and has to face the consequences.
One of these is the imposing of sanctions by President Barack Obama who has levied sanctions against North Korea in response to the reclusive country's recent "illicit" nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 17 March 2016.

The result of sanctions is to block certain transactions on property belonging to the North Korean government and to the Workers' Party of Korea. These are in continuation to the U.N. Security Council's unanimous adoption this month of some of the toughest sanctions in decades against North Korea because it defied the world by pushing ahead with its nuclear program.
The US President had enacted separate U.S. sanctions against North Korea last month and an executive order signed by Obama and effective immediately merges both sets of sanctions, enabling the U.S. government to implement them.
