The results of Wednesday's four-day poll agreed to tighten sanctions on North Korea targeting the shipping industry and companies doing business with North Korea.
Specifically, the bill prohibits Korean vessels from operating in US waters and forbids landing at US ports. The ban also applies to ships of countries that do not comply with the UN resolution on sanctions against the North.
Commodities from "forced labor" from Korea are also not allowed in the United States. Anyone who employs Korean forced labor sent to other countries is put to the test of these sanctions.
Ed Royce, Republican of California and chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee, is the sponsor of the bill. He asserts that Angolan, Senegalese and Qatar companies employ Korean workers. The United States wants to put an end to this situation because it believes it is a financial artery, generating revenue for the Korean government for nuclear development.
Over time, the administration of President Donald Trump has taken a firm stand on North Korea's missile development program.
Supporters of the decision to punish the North Koreans say that the adoption of the law would send a strong message to Pyongyang. This bill will be sent to the Senate before passing and passed to the White House for Trump to sign the law.
In addition, the Trump administration has 90 days to report to Congress on whether to bring North Korea back to its terrorist financing list. If yes, this means North Korea will face more punitive measures, including limiting funding from the United States, Fox said.
On the same day, the US House of Representatives voted to approve former President Barack Obama's alternative health care bill - also known as the Obamacare. The results were pretty close to 217-213, and all Democrats were protesting.
The use of the new law to replace Obamacare is a key plan that President Trump wants to make but has been postponed because of insufficient convictions.
CNN commented that Trumpcare's recent vote on the House vote was a significant victory for Trump. However, everything promises tensions in the Senate, as there is much debate among conservative and neutral Republicans. Twenty Republicans have protested against Trumpcare.
However, in a later statement, President Trump praised the victory as well as the efforts of House Speaker Paul Ryan, saying that Obamacare "was basically dead." Thank you for leaving valuable comments
