The weapons trade "has been a main source of revenue for the North for quite some time," Morrell said. Choking it off, he said, would reduce funding for Pyongyang's nuclear program as well as halt the proliferation of arms to other countries and terrorists, "where it could pose a threat to us and our allies...
