US wants to strongly restrict exports of N Korea

The United States wants to bring a resolution to the UN Security Council, bringing down a third-party export of North Korea.

It is expected that China and Russia will support the resolution. It is a punishment for the two missile missions performed by North Korea in July. The US wants to put the proposal to a vote on Saturday. North Korea exports annually for over 2.5 billion euros.

The resolution also stipulates that countries can no longer accept North Korean staff than is the case now. Furthermore, no new partnerships with North Korean companies may be entered into and prohibits new investments in existing partnerships.
