Trump Reinstates North Korea as 'State Sponsor of Terrorism'

President Trump announced last week that he was returning North Korea to the U.S. list of “state sponsors of terrorism” after having been off the list for the past nine years. The truth is a “state sponsor of terrorism” designation has little to do with actual support for global terrorism. As bad as the North Korean government is, it is does not go abroad looking for countries to invade. The designation is a political one, allowing Washington to ramp up more aggression against North Korea.
