(UTV|COLOMBO) – US President Donald Trump has praised the UN Security Council for imposing tough new sanctions on North Korea in response to ballistic missile tests.
In a tweet, Mr Trump said the vote proved the world “wants peace, not death”.
The US-drafted resolution includes measures to slash North Korea’s petrol imports by up to 90%.
China and Russia, Pyongyang’s main trading partners, voted in favour of the resolution.
North Korea is already subject to a raft of sanctions from the US, the UN and the EU.
“The United Nations Security Council just voted 15-0 in favor of additional Sanctions on North Korea. The World wants Peace, not Death!” Mr Trump tweeted.
