Sources: US gives China draft proposal for tougher North Korea sanctions - RTRS

Reuters quoted a Western diplomat, who did not want to be identified, as saying that the US has given China a draft resolution for tougher UN sanctions on North Korea and hopes for a quick vote on it by the UN Security Council.

The diplomat noted: “We’re trying to get another one. They’re not there yet.”

Among the sanctions the US wants is a tightening of restrictions on North Korea’s supply of refined petroleum, which is capped by previous U.N. sanctions at 2 million barrels a year.
