North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile program is today one of the most serious threats not only to the Asia-Pacific region, but to the world as a whole. So far this year, North Korea has test-fired at least nine ballistic missiles. It has threatened its neighbors and flouted¹ United Nations resolutions.

朝鲜的核武器和导弹项目是当今世界最严重的威胁之一，不仅威胁亚太地区，也威胁着全世界。今年到目前为止，朝鲜已经试射了至少9次弹道导弹。朝鲜（这样做）威胁了其邻国，公然蔑视了联合国决议。

In order to thwart² North Korea's military, nuclear, and Weapons of Mass Destruction programs, constrain³ its revenue from labor⁴, coal, and minerals, and stymie⁵ its overseas financial operations, the U.S. Treasury⁶ Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, took action against six entities⁷ and three individuals.

The United States will continue to target individuals and entities responsible for financing and supporting North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, and will continue to increase pressure on this hostile regime, said Director of OFAC John E. Smith. Treasury is working with our allies to counter networks that enable North Korea's destabilizing activities, and we urge our partners to take parallel steps to cut off their funding sources.

美国将继续以那些为朝鲜核武器和弹道导弹项目提供资金援助和其他支持的个人和组织为目标，也将继续向朝鲜这个邪恶政权施压，美国财政部海外资产控制办公室负责人约翰 史密斯如是说道。美国财政部正在与我们的盟友合作，打击让朝鲜得以从事破坏稳定活动的网络。同时，我们督促合作伙伴也采取相应的措施，切断他们的资金来源。
