In supporting a
watered-down version of North Korea sanctions, China and Russia has warned
the US not to overthrow Kim Jong Un’s regime.
Report says, the measures
passed at the United Nations Security Council included reducing imports of
refined petroleum products, banning textile exports and strengthening
inspections of cargo ships suspected of having illegal materials.
US envoy Nikki Haley
called them the strongest measures ever imposed on North Korea even though they
ended up dropping demands for an oil embargo and freeze on Kim’s assets.
The comments in the wake
of the sanctions signaled that both China and Russia are only willing to go so
far in pressuring Kim to abandon his attempts to secure the ability to strike
the U.S. with a nuclear weapon. Both nations have called for dialogue,
something President Donald Trump has resisted.
