Washington, Apr. 27 (ANI): Republican and Democratic lawmakers have proposed to introduce tough sanctions against North Korea amid growing concern over its nuclear programmes.
The call comes as Pyongyang has planned to indict an American detained for alleged hostile acts against the country.
According to Fox News, the bill, made by leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and introduced on Friday, would punish companies, banks and governments that do prohibited business with North Korea.
The measure reflects growing concern over North Korea's nuclear weapon and missile development, and frustration over the failure of U.S. policy to stop it.
The draft bill does not name any particular entities but potentially could impact companies and banks in China through which North Korea conducts most of its business, the report added. (ANI)
