The United States wants to impose new UN sanctions on North Korea

North Korea has fired six missiles since September last year, in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions, Thomas-Greenfield writes. The last two launch ceremonies took place this month.

The U.S. government announced on Wednesday that it was imposing sanctions on five North Koreans, a Russian and a Russian company, for their involvement in a North Korean missile program. Those involved are said to have helped North Korea procure weapons parts.

The United Nations Security Council convened on Monday to discuss the possibility of accepting the request of its permanent members, the United States, France and the United Kingdom. He also called on North Korea to refrain from further destabilizing activities.

One day later, the dictatorial Asian nation launched another rocket. According to the North Korean regime, it would have been a hypersonic missile that flies five times faster than sound, so it cannot be intercepted.
