The US on Wednesday issued a ban prohibiting its
citizens from travelling to the DPRK from September 1, the State
Department said.
The travel ban came after the death
of American university student Otto Warmbier who died after being
released from 18-months in detention in the country.
People
who are currently in the DPRK on a US passport should depart North
Korea before the travel restriction enters into effect on September 1,
according to the travel alert of the State Department.
