US State Department Says North Korea Has Enough Money to Solve Their Regime Created Humanitarian Crisis
The US State Department is saying the hard truth that many do not want to hear about North Korea:
North Korea’s humanitarian crisis is entirely the fault of the regime, a U.S. State Department spokesperson told Voice of America on Monday.

The spokesperson said there will be no substantial humanitarian aid without denuclearization, despite the UN Security Council’s recent decision to permit civic groups to give some medical aid to the North.
Asked by VOA to comment on the UN’s request for funding for humanitarian aid to the North next year, the spokesperson said, “The regime can fully meet the 2018 United Nations humanitarian appeal’s request for $111 million by redirecting its funds and resources from its nuclear and weapons programs.”
On Dec. 4, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said it needs $111 million to support 6 million starving North Koreans next year.
You can read more at the link, but I think the US State Department is sending a message to South Korea and others that there will be no possibility of circumventing sanctions by calling projects in North Korea humanitarian assistance.
completely a disaster of their own making that my tax dollars (yes, I pay korean taxes) should be spent on. The commie moon government trying to save the commie government in the north…while bringing it to South Korea is completely abhorrent.
Glad to see that the US is finally realizing that Moon and Fat Leader are just a couple of scammers and not going to fall for “fake humanitarian aid”!
