Today’s sanctions, the strongest yet, will continue to show our steadfast commitment to our allies in South Korea and the denuclearization of North Korea.”
In Taiwan, Inhofe led a large delegation of House and Senate Armed Services committee members — apparently to the annoyance of China, according to the New York Times.
