Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- Belorussian Prime Minister Mikhail Myasnikovich in a recent press conference condemned the United States and the West's sanctions against enterprises of his country.

It is base that politicians are putting pressure on companies, not content with employing every possible means and method, he said, branding the U.S. and the West's sanctions as an act of aggression against the Belorussian people.

The political decisions adopted by the U.S. should not be allowed as they push enterprises into bankruptcy and spark off a trade war, he said.
