WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (Yonhap) -- The U.S. Treasury Department announced new North Korea-related sanctions on Wednesday, two days after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his desire to reengage with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during a summit with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.

The department's Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned two individuals and two entities, including a North Korean national and a North Korean trading firm.
