North Korea tourism: US 'to ban Americans from visiting'

Pyongyang

The US is to ban its citizens from travelling to North Korea, according to two agencies that operate tours there.
Koryo Tours and Young Pioneer Tours said the ban would be announced on 27 July to come into effect 30 days later.
They were informed by the Swedish embassy, which conducts US affairs in the country.
The US has not yet confirmed the ban but there has been momentum, given the worsening ties and the death of jailed American student Otto Warmbier.
