DISINFO: The US is trying to take control of Russian sea...

SUMMARY

The US is trying to take control of Russian sea ports.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. On May 4, the U.S. House of Representatives passed revised legislation outlining the American response to new threats posed by North Korea’s nuclear aspirations. H.R.1644, the Korean Interdiction and Modernization of Sanctions Act, sets out enhanced measures for identifying and inspecting foreign seaports and airports that “knowingly” violate the UN Security Council resolution on North Korea. These include two ports in China, eleven in Iran, four in Syria and three in Russia. The bill would sanction ports and port operators that fail to comply with UN Security Council resolutions. bit.ly/2rhAdpP,
