Dan Coats: Russia and China implementing North Korea sanctions

The United States will continue to “pressure” Russia and China to move “forward” with international sanctions on North Korea, according to the head of the U.S. intelligence community.

“The sanctions are basically being held,” Dan Coats, the director of National Intelligence, said during the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday. “We continue to have Chinese support; we continue to have Russian support. … So, right now we have the pressure on them to go forward and we’ll see how it plays out.”
