Tokyo to return to North Korea on the U.S. terrorist list

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday urged Washington to enter North Korea on the U.S. list of countries supporting terrorism, news agency Kyodo. During his speech to the Japanese parliament, the Prime Minister stressed that the financial sanctions seemed the most effective and he would ask the United States to harden. Abe also said he would try to get North Korea to be included in the list of countries supporting terrorism. February 12, Pyongyang conducted an underground nuclear test by detonating a bomb "lightweight and compact" d a great destructive power. This approach has been strongly condemned by the United States, China, France, Britain, Japan and Russia. In 1987, the United States entered North Korea on its list of countries sponsoring terrorism but were removed from the list in 2008. inclusion of a country in the list of state
sponsors of terrorism provides for an embargo on exports of arms and dual-use goods to that country, as well as financial and economic sanctions.
