North Korea said Tuesday the seizure of one of its cargo ships by the US for violating sanctions was a "robbery" that violated the "fundamental spirit" of a pact made by President Trump and Kim PudgeJong-un

The North Korean foreign ministry said in a statement that it rejected the UN security resolutions against their country, which the US used as reasoning to take control of the ship, and demanded a return of the vessel.
Trade for The Pueblo, assholes
"The U.N. Security Council resolutions the United States mentioned as one of the reasons for robbing our trade vessel equate to a violent infringement of the illusory sovereignty of our country and we have been entirely rejecting them," the KCNA statement said. "The United States should carefully consider what kind of consequences their daylight robbery could bring to the political situation and should send back our vessel without hesitation."
The US announced last week that it had seized the ship and accused the North Koreans of using it to deliver illegal coal reserves to the country, violating sanctions.
The ship, called the Wise Honest, was detained by Indonesia in April 2018. The Trump administration announced that it would seize the ship hours after North Korea fired short-range missiles Thursday.
The ship was taken to a port in American Samoa because of "its central strategic location," the US Coast Guard said.
