The Treasury Department imposed sanctions on a North Korean man on Monday it accuses of evading trade restrictions and being an employee of a government department that helped develop the nuclear-capable missiles Pyongyang fired last week.
The blacklisting of Kim Su Il—who the U.S. says was employed by North Korea’s Munitions Industry Department—follows U.S. condemnation of the test firings amid stalled talks between Washington and Pyongyang. The U.S. is seeking nuclear disarmament by North Korea.
The Treasury Department said Mr. Kim—also a member of the sanctioned Workers’ Party of Korea—is running an illicit import-export business out of Vietnam that trades North Korean coal and other goods. Those operations raise much-needed funds and foreign currency for the regime in defiance of international sanctions that have squeeze the country’s economy.
North Korea’s mission to the U.N. didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
