The US seizes a North Korean cargo ship, alleging it was used to transport coal in a violation of sanctions
The seizure is likely to heighten tensions between the two countries at a time when US efforts to dissuade North Korea from pursuing its nuclear weapons program have stalled following the failure of the Hanoi summit in February.
The North Korean captain of the ship was arrested and charged with violations of Indonesian maritime law, according to the complaint, which says he was convicted by an Indonesian court in November 2018 of"offenses related to improper documentation for the ship."Court documents said the ship was used to haul coal as well as heavy machinery, including 412,584 kilograms of"steel plate.
