N. Korea citizens may be hard hit by new U.N. sanctions: defector

Ri Jong Ho, a high-profile defector from North Korea, is interviewed by Kyodo News in Washington on Aug. 9, 2017. New U.N. sanctions targeting North Korea's key exports will help curtail funding for its nuclear and missile programs but may not bring an end to Kim Jong Un's nuclear ambitions and could hit ordinary peoples' lives hard, he said.
