Article snippet: President Trump on Saturday praised the United Nations Security Council for voting to support new sanctions on North Korea in response to its recent tests of ballistic missiles. "The United Nations Security Council just voted 15-0 to sanction North Korea. China and Russia voted with us. Very big financial impact!" he tweeted. "United Nations Resolution is the single largest economic sanctions package ever on North Korea. Over one billion dollars in cost to [North Korea]," he continued in another tweet. The United Nations Security Council voted on Saturday to impose new sanctions against North Korea in retaliation for the regime's recent intercontinental ballistic missile tests. The unanimous vote follows North Korea's two recent tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the most recent of which took place last week. President Trump has recently increased his attacks against China, lashing out on Twitter last week for not doing more to rein in the regime.
