Trump says North Korea sanctions prove 'world wants peace, not death'

US President Donald Trump has said tough new United Nations sanctions on North Korea prove that "the world wants peace, not death".


The sanctions, which were approved by the UN Security Council  last night,  are aimed at curbing Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programme and follow a missile test last month.

The US-drafted resolution was supported by China and Russia and includes measures to severely restrict the amount of refined petroleum it can import.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said there should be no adverse humanitarian impact from the new sanctions.
