North Korea crisis: US seeks Kim Jong-un asset freeze The US has proposed a range of new United Nations sanctions against North Korea, including an oil ban and a freeze on leader Kim Jong-un's assets. The draft resolution circulated to the Security Council members comes after North Korea's sixth nuclear test and repeated missile launches. Pyongyang also claims to have developed a hydrogen bomb and continues to threaten to strike the US. China and Russia are both expected to oppose further sanctions. - North Korea crisis in 300 words - How should Trump handle North Korea? - How do you defend against North Korea? North Korea is already under highly restrictive sanctions imposed by the UN that are intended to force the leadership to curtail its weapons programmes. In August, a new round of sanctions banned exports including coal, costing North Korea an estimated $1bn (£767m) - about a third of its entire export economy. But some trade avenues remain open to it. The draft US proposal calls for a total ban on supplying a range of oil products to North Korea and a ban on its textile export industry. It also suggests freezing the assets of Mr Kim and the North Korean government, as well as banning him and other senior officials from travelling. North Korean labourers would also be banned from working abroad, principally in Russia's Far East and China. Remittances from foreign earnings and textile exports are two of the most important remaining sources of income for North Korea. But it is not clear how China and Russia, which both supply oil to North Korea and wield vetoes at the Security Council, will respond to the US move. On Thursday, China's foreign minister Wang Yi told reporters that the council should respond further "by taking necessary measures", but did not elaborate. He added that "sanctions and pressure are only half of the key to resolving the issue. The other half is dialogue and negotiation." China is both North Korea's and the US's biggest trade partner, and has supported recent sanctions against it. - Can the world live with a nuclear North Korea? - What if Trump cut ties with North Korea's trade partners? - Have North Korea's missile tests paid off? - What do we know about N Korea's nuclear site? Russian President Vladimir Putin has argued that the amount of oil his country exports to North Korea - some 40,000 tonnes - is negligible. "It is not worth giving in to emotions and driving North Korea into a corner," he said. Both China and Russia have been pushing for an alternative solution. They are proposing that the US and ally South Korea stop their military drills - which anger the North - and end the deployment of the controversial anti-missile Thaad system in South Korea, in return for Pyongyang ceasing its nuclear and missile programme. The proposal has been rejected by the US and South Korea. On Thursday, the South's military announced it had completed the deployment of Thaad, reported Yonhap news agency. President Moon Jae-in also met with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, where both agreed to push for greater sanctions. Mr Abe called for "the greatest possible pressure" to be put on North Korea. US President Donald Trump had previously warned the US could cut off trade with countries that do business with North Korea. The US has indicated that if the resolution is not passed when the Security Council meets next Monday it may impose its own sanctions unilaterally. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told reporters on Wednesday night: "We believe that we need to economically cut off North Korea. "I have an executive order prepared. It's ready to go to the president. It will authorise me to... put sanctions on anybody that does trade with North Korea." Mr Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping also discussed North Korea over the phone on Wednesday, where they agreed to "take further action", said a White House statement. The US president, who has previously threatened a military response to North Korea, told reporters this was was "not our first choice", but did not rule it out. Mr Trump added: "President Xi would like to do something. We'll see whether or not he can do it. But we will not be putting up with what's happening in North Korea." Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported that Mr Xi called for a "peaceful settlement of the issue" involving "dialogue combined with a set of comprehensive measures".

'उत्तर कोरियाली संकटका कारण युद्ध हुनसक्ने' अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको परमाणु र क्षेप्यास्त्र कार्यक्रमका कारण एउटा ठूलो द्वन्द्व निम्तनसक्ने चेतावनी पुन: दिएका छन्। उनले कूटनीतिक माध्यमबाट उत्तर कोरियासँगको विवादको हल गर्न चाहेको तर त्यसरी समाधान खोज्नु एकदमै कठीन भएको बताए। यसअघि अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री रेक्स टिलरसनले अर्को परमाणु क्षेप्यास्त्र परीक्षण गरे उत्तर कोरियाविरुद्ध प्रतिबन्ध लगाउने चेतावनी चीनले दिएको बताएका थिए। उता उत्तर कोरियाले अमेरिकामाथिको हमलाको परिकल्पना गर्दै एउटा प्रोपोगान्डा भिडियो सार्वजनिक गरेको छ। खतरा राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको परमाणु कार्यक्रम आफ्ना लागि सबैभन्दा ठूलो विश्वव्यापी चिन्ता भएको बताए। उनले कुटनीतिक रुपमा समाधान खोज्ने प्रयास गरिरहेको र चीनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि दबाब बढाइरहेको उल्लेख गरे। उत्तर कोरियामाथि थप प्रतिबन्ध लगाइने चिनियाँ राष्ट्रपति सि जिनपिङलाई एक जना असल व्यक्तिको रुपमा संज्ञा दिदैँ उनले आफ्नो अट्टेरी छिमेकी विरुद्ध दबाब बढाउन प्रयासहरु गरिरहेको उल्लेख गरे। अमेरिकाले चीनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि कडा प्रतिबन्धहरु लगाएर उसलाई वार्तामा आउन दबाब देओस् भन्ने चाहेको छ। त्यसबाहेक सैन्य समाधानको विकल्पबारे पनि विचार भइरहेको विवरणहरु आएका छन्। अमेरिका विरुद्ध आक्रमण गर्ने चेतावनी यसअघि फक्स न्युजसँगको कुराकानीमा अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री टिलरसनले चीनले आफ्नो छिमेकी उत्तर कोरियालाई अहिलेसम्मकै कडा चेतावनी दिएको खुलासा गरेका थिए। टक्कर उनका अनुसार चीनले किम जोङ उनलाई उनले थप परमाणु परीक्षण गराए बेइजिङ्ले आफैँ प्रतिबन्धहरु लगाउने तयारी गर्ने जानकारी दिएको छ। उत्तर कोरियाको झण्डै ८५ प्रतिशत व्यापार चीनसँग निर्भर छ। अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्रीले उत्तर कोरियाका युवा नेताले आफूले तर्कसंङ्गत निर्णय लिने क्षमता देखाएको भएपनि अमेरिकी गुप्तचर निकायहरुले संकलन गरेका विवरणले उनी क्रुर भएपनि मूर्ख नभएको पाइएको उल्लेख गरे। तर राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले किम जङ उनको क्षमताबारे आफ्नो कुनै धारणा नभएको प्रतिक्रिया दिएका छन्। उता बढ्दो कूटनीतिक दवावका माझ उत्तर कोरियाले एउटा 'प्रोपोगान्डा भिडियो' बनाएको छ जसमा अमेरिकामाथि हमला गरेको अवस्थाको परिकल्पना गरिएको छ। सो भिडियोमा उत्तर कोरियाली क्षेप्यास्त्रले वासिङ्टन डिसीस्थित क्यापिटोल हिल र ह्वाइट हाउस साथै अमेरिकी विमानहरु बस्ने नौ सेनाको पानीजहाजलाई निशाना बनाएको देखाइएको छ।
