Restrict U.S. travel to N. Korea: expert recommendation to Congress

Move would protect "safety of U.S. nationals", says Ruggiero

Congress should restrict U.S. tourist travel to North Korea in order to deny Pyongyang a source of foreign currency, a U.S. expert recommended to the Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday.

The recommendation, which was part of four proposals specifically intended for Congressional consideration, is notable for coming after four updates in the last year to the State Department's travel warning advisory on North Korea.
