Wicker: Senate Votes to Strengthen N. Korea Sanctions

Statement

U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was joined by an overwhelming bipartisan majority of Senators in voting to expand and strengthen sanctions aimed at the North Korean regime.

"The President's doctrine of "strategic patience' toward North Korea is clearly not working," Wicker said. "The "hermit kingdom' flaunts its nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile capabilities with no consequences. The least we can do is impose additional sanctions on the Kim regime and those who continue to support it. I am hopeful that the Administration will join us in sending a strong message to the North Korean dictator that his provocations will no longer be tolerated."
