More from the Hill:
The United Nations Security Council voted on Saturday to impose new sanctions against North Korea in retaliation for the regime’s recent intercontinental ballistic missile tests.
The unanimous vote follows North Korea’s two recent tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the most recent of which took place last week.
Reuters reported on Friday that the U.S. sent a draft copy of the resolution to the 15 members of the Security Council.
China’s vote for additional sanctions, which was praised by U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, will be seen as a welcoming sign to the U.S.
This is very good. It really sounds like China has double-dealing with us and pretending to pressure North Korea while trading with them behind our back.
This is the only way to pressure the Norks without disastrous military action. But it’s likely not to work. The Norks realize that obtaining more nukes means security for their regime. We realize it too. That’s why we don’t want them to get more nukes. So this right now is an existential exercise for the Norks…
