The Department of State, the Ministry of Finance and the US Department of Commerce jointly issued a warning to industry around the world for the first time (local time) not to inadvertently cooperate to secure the technology and equipment of North Korea for the development of ballistic missiles.
This is the first time the United States has issued a warning aimed at developing a North Korean missile in cooperation with ministries. It is interpreted to contain a warning message that North Korea should not intervene in the elections due to the launch of ballistic missiles before the US presidential elections in November.
The Office of International Security and Non-Proliferation (ISN) of the US Department of State, the Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the Department of Finance and the Industrial Security Administration of the Department of Commerce issued a notice of 19 pages on North Korea’s ballistic missile procurement activities.
They posted notices on the home pages of each ministry and said: “This is an understanding of the deceptive tactics of North Korea and the key agencies involved in North Korea’s ballistic missile program.” “Stakeholders in the US and abroad should be familiar with these activities and techniques.” .
They said: “ Procurement activities for materials and equipment used in North Korea’s ballistic missile program will be subject to sanctions and sanctions under various UN and US laws, including electronics, chemicals, metals, logistics, industries, as well as the finance, transportation and logistics industries. In addition, they are exposed to the risk of violating United Nations sanctions, “he said.” Because of North Korea’s deceptive form, it can participate in North Korea’s ballistic missile program without even being aware of it. “
They said, “I want people and companies to make decisions based on the information disclosed in this advisory,” and said, “The industry is at the forefront in detecting and destroying Korea’s (ballistic missile) acquisition attempts. North”. At the same time, North Korean companies such as the North Korean Shipbuilding and Mining Development Company (KOMID), the Ministry of Military Industry (MID) and the 2nd Academy of Defense Sciences (SANS) were mentioned once again, and the US sanctions against North Korea were listed one by one. did.
The United States has issued warnings aimed at avoiding North Korea’s sanctions and cyberattacks, but this is the first time it has issued specific warnings about ballistic missiles. This is interpreted as a warning message saying that the negotiations between the United States and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are stalled for a long time and that, prior to the November presidential elections, they should not engage in forceful protests against the United States, such as missile launches.
In particular, considering that US President Donald Trump has shown an attitude that he doesn’t care about North Korea’s short-range ballistic missiles, saying, “Short-range is okay,” this measure also means no launch short-range missiles before elections.
