SWEENEY STATEMENT ON NEW U.N.  SANCTIONS AGAINST THE NORTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT

 
 
 

Washington, D.C. - Representative John E. Sweeney (R-NY), a member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, issued the following statement today after the United Nations unanimously voted to impose sanctions on the North Korean government.

“It’s very important that the international community is united in sending a strong and unequivocal message to the North Korean government and others that may seek to replicate its reprehensible actions, that this behavior will absolutely not be tolerated. It is imperative to have security and stability in the Far East and this requires North Korean government must disband its nuclear weapons program.  The North Korean government must return to the Six Party Talks immediately and for once put its peoples interests above its reckless nuclear ambitions.”
