On Wednesday, as Washington wants to sustain pressure on Pyongyang for its nuclear programme, the US Treasury declared bans on Chinese and Russian companies for violating the economic ban on trade with North Korea. A Chinese company was accused by the Treasury for showing false documents to facilitate shipments of alcohol and cigarettes to North Korea. A Russian company also violated UN sanctions for which it is blacklisted.
