The Trump administration said Thursday it seized a North Korean cargo vessel that was being used to transport coal in violation of U.S. and United Nations sanctions. The ship was first seized by Indonesia over a year ago; it’s now being moved to U.S. territory in American Samoa. The announced seizure of the ship came just after North Korea test-fired a pair of short-range missiles amid a breakdown in denuclearization talks with the U.S.
