Washington Freezes Assets of Three More Companies
Assets, totaling $31.7 million, of the Choson Mining Trade Company, Choson Ryonbong General Company and Danchong Commercial Bank have been frozen since July 1 when Executive Order 13382 came into effect, the ministry said in a report to Rep. Kim Won-wung of the ruling Uri Party.
The three companies were allegedly responsible for importing and exporting the missile parts.
The amount of North Korean assets are the fourth largest to be frozen, following $1.24 billion from Libya, $192 million from Cuba and $82.2 million from Iran, the report said.
