UN Weighs New North Korea Sanctions After Nuclear Test

The United Nations Security Council condemned North Korea’s test of a nuclear device, paving the way for negotiations with China to punish the totalitarian regime with additional sanctions.

The Security Council met in emergency session for an hour this morning in New York to discuss measures after North Korea’s third nuclear test earlier today. The support of China, North Korea’s closest ally and a council member wielding a veto, is needed for a fresh round of sanctions. That will require delicate consultations.
