The Trump administration has submitted a report to the United Nations accusing North Korea of violating sanctions that limit the amount of oil it can import in a given year.
The report came from the office of Nikki Haley, U. S. ambassador to the U. N., with a request that it be forwarded to all 193 member states.
According to the report, the United States estimates that North Korea has far exceeded the cap of 500,000 barrels of oil, a limit imposed by the U. N. The U. S. suspects that North Korea may have imported as many as 1.4 million barrels of oil.
“Tankers have called in port in the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] at least 89 times likely to deliver refined petroleum products illicitly procured,” the report stated.
