Washington, D.C. - Tomorrow at 10 a.m., House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA) will convene a hearing entitled “Sanctions, Diplomacy, and Information: Pressuring North Korea."
Chairman Royce on the hearing: “The nuclear test conducted by North Korea on September 3 was its most powerful to date, and its ICBM capabilities continue to improve. Sanctions, diplomacy and information must be fully utilized to address this direct threat to the United States and our allies. Fortunately, Congress has given the administration tools to help cut off cash to Kim Jong Un’s illicit weapons programs and, ultimately, help change North Korea from within. With this hearing, we will examine additional steps to exert maximum pressure on North Korea."
