Trump has sold Kim Jong Un on peace and prosperity. But North Korea's record on human rights stands in the way.
ELIANA JOHNSON Experts insist that economic reform alone is not enough to effect change — it must be interrelated with national security and human rights, as the U.S. managed to do at the height of the Cold War. The Jackson-Vanik amendment to the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 cracked down on U.S. trade with the Soviet Union and its satellites in response to human rights abuses.
Kim is believed to have personally ordered the execution of his half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, who was assassinated in 2017 after two women attacked him with VX nerve agent in a Malaysian airport. North Korea is one of many countries that uses forced labor, though American companies do business in many of them by providing voluntary compliance reports to Customs and Border Protection enforcement officials indicating that they are not using forced labor in their supply chain or operations.
