WASHINGTON - The Biden administration plans to issue new sanctions against North Korea to punish Pyongyang for recent missile tests, according to two people familiar with the matter.
North Korea is already under comprehensive US sanctions, so it isn’t clear what else in the country the administration can target. One of the people said the new sanctions would focus on Pyongyang’s revenue, without elaborating.
