U.N. Approves New North Korea Sanctions Over Missile Tests
The new sanctions will cut about $1 billion, or a third, of North Korea's export revenue. North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles last month, which could potentially reach the U.S.
The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously Saturday to impose new sanctions on North Korea over the country's long-range missile tests last month.
The measure cuts about $1 billion-worth of North Korean exports, or about a third of the country's export revenue each year.
"This resolution, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. "This is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation."
