Trump says to put more sanctions on N. Korea
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will put more sanctions on North Korea for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
"We will be putting more sanctions on North Korea," Trump told reporters at a meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in New York, where he is attending the U.N. General Assembly this week. He did not elaborate.
North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3, drawing a ninth set of sanctions from the U.N. Security Council including caps on oil imports.
The Trump administration had pushed for a complete oil embargo but faced opposition from China and Russia that are among the five veto-wielding permanent members of the council.
