奥巴马**今天宣布对朝鲜实施新的制裁，这被称为对索尼影业娱乐公司遭受网络攻击的“第一次”回应。美国财政部在一份新闻稿中说，这些制裁与已经针对朝鲜核计划实施的制裁是分开的，是对“最近的挑衅”的回应。奥巴马总统今天早些时候签署了一项行政命令，授权实施制裁。

美国财政部说：“这一步骤反映了美国一直致力于追究朝鲜对其破坏稳定、破坏性和镇压行动的责任，特别是其破坏美国网络安全和恐吓美国企业和艺术家行使****权利的努力。”。

报复行动已经正式开始

制裁针对三个朝鲜实体，包括**的主要情报机构和一个当地军火商。与这些实体和朝鲜**有关联的10人也受到制裁。受制裁的企业和个人被禁止进入美国金融体系，美国公民也被严格禁止与今天的报复措施中提到的人开展业务。

美国财政部长雅各布J。卢。”就在美国联邦调查局（FBI）继续调查针对索尼影业娱乐公司（Sony Pictures Entertainment）的网络攻击事件之际，这些措施突显出，我们将采用一系列广泛的工具来保护美国企业和公民，并对破坏我们价值观或威胁美国****的企图作出回应。”

白宫将今天的举动描述为对索尼影业（Sony Pictures）遭到大规模黑客攻击的回应的“第一个方面”，也表明白宫否认与朝鲜最近的互联网问题有关。在美国联邦调查局（FBI）正式将索尼仍在遭受的网络攻击归咎于平壤之后，奥巴马总统承诺，美国将“在我们选择的地点、时间和方式”作出回应。今天，他的**再次誓言，报复将是“成比例的”
