ANSWER: North Korea
 
US President Barack Obama has signed legislation imposing fresh sanctions against N Korea in response to nuclear and missile tests by Pyongyang. The bills impose mandatory sanctions on those helping N.Korea in its nuclear and missile programmes, human rights violations and cyber attacks. Expanded sanctions aim to deny N.Korea money needed to deliver long range missiles and develop miniaturised nuclear warheads.
