(NEW YORK) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aiming to tighten an economic noose around North Korea, days after he threatened to "totally destroy" the country if forced to defend the United States or its allies.

The new order enables the U.S. to sanction individual companies and institutions that finance trade with North Korea. It adds to U.S.-led international pressure against Kim Jong Un's expanded missile and nuclear testing program that has stoked fears of nuclear war and dominated the president's debut at this week's U.N. General Assembly.

The announcement came as Trump met in New York with leaders from close U.S. allies South Korea and Japan, the nations most imperiled by North Korea's threats.

Trump said the order would also disrupt other trade avenues for North Korea in an effort to halt its nuclear weapons program. The president said "tolerance for this disgraceful practice must end now."

So kill millions of people and bring about retaliation from China and Russia for absolutely no gain.

What a smart choice

Trump: "What do the North Koreans have?"
Kelly: "Nothing, sir."
Trump: "Then take it away from them."
Kelly: "If we take nothing away from them sir, then they'll have something."
Trump: "Then give them more nothing!"
Kelly: "I don't think you understand how this works."

The same people who loved sanctions will now magically say they are ineffective.

As for me, I believe sanctions are weak, always have, always will. People keep saying there is nothing we can do, but I guarantee if they were the ones in need of saving, they would be demanding that we do something. North Koreans deserve our help too, it isn't their fault they were born in an unlucky situation.

War is not something I wish for, but if needed, I would not totally ignore it. What I want to do is talk with China, see what we can do to make sure North Korea doesn't have their northern neighbor on their side anymore. I am all for opening up the market.

We can't do anything without China's help.

You want to take down DPRK with as little violence as possible, we get China to help.
