Experts: New Sanctions Unlikely to Deter North Korea From Nuclear Path
Even as the United States calls for imposing new sanctions on North Korea, experts suggest increased enforcement of current sanctions might do more to pressure the regime into reversing course as Pyongyang celebrates its nuclear achievements.
The U.S. and South Korea believe Pyongyang could conduct a nuclear test as it marks the 110th anniversary of founding leader Kim Il Sung's birthday, the so-called Day of the Sun, on Friday. North Korea has not conducted a nuclear test since 2017.
Also this week, North Korea is saluting the achievements of Kim Jong Un, the founder’s grandson, during his first decade as leader.
