Dutch officials seize vodka shipment believed to be bound for N. Korea

Officials in the Netherlands seized a shipment of 90,000 bottles of Russian vodka that were found underneath an aircraft fuselage, on a ship bound for China, Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reported.

But Dutch officials believe that the shipment was really intended for North Korea, which would be a violation of United Nations sanctions against the country importing luxury goods.

The discovery comes as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump in Vietnam on Wednesday.
