Van Hollen Wants to Use Failed Iran Sanctions as Model for N. Korean Sanctions

EXCERPT:

VAN HOLLEN: "I expect us to take up legislation. Congress did pass some Korea sanction legislation as part of the Russia sanctions and the sanctions on Iran. But many of us believe we need to go further in terms of the Iran sanctions model. Back then, we remember the U.N. passed sanctions on Iran. They really didn’t bite. They didn’t have any teeth until the United States passed what they called secondary sanctions where we say to countries like China or others, you have a choice; either you do business with North Korea or you do business with the United States --"
STEIN: "Yes."
VAN HOLLEN: " -- but you can’t do both. So that is what got people’s attention with the Iran sanctions. That’s what we need to do now."
