US President Donald Trump imposed travel restrictions on North Korea and seven other nations which will face travel restrictions beginning the 18th of October.
It is a result of a review after Trump's original travel ban was challenged in the US court. It reads "North Korea does not cooperate with the United States government in any respect and fails to satisfy all information-sharing requirements."
The travel ban on North Korea follows an earlier ban on US nationals traveling to the reclusive state.
Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said President Trump doesn't want a nuclear war with North Korea and his administration will do everything to prevent that from happening. This comes as Trump has engaged in an escalating war on words against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over the nation's nuclear and missile program, including their sixth nuclear test.
In spate of word war between two leaders, Pyongyang staged a mass rally in support of Kim Jong Un. Tens of thousands of North Korean citizens took to the streets of Pyongyang over the weekend, denouncing the United States.
A number of speeches were deliver by senior regime officials during the hour-long event, where they reiterated Kim Jong-un's message from the previous day. The protests doesn't stop here. North Korea sent an open letter to global parlaments, calling for their support to denounce US President Trump's aggressive words at last week's UN General Assembly.
It called on all countries that "love, independence, peace and justice" to fulfill their duty to maintain their values and warned that President Trump's threats could spark an all-out nuclear war.
