US and China report progress on new North Korea sanctions
UNITED NATIONS -- The United States and China said Tuesday they are making progress on a new U.N. resolution that would impose additional sanctions against North Korea following its test of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The U.S. gave China a proposed resolution several weeks ago, and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told reporters that China has been negotiating with its close ally Russia on possible new sanctions.
"The true test will be what they've worked out with Russia," she said.
China's U.N. Ambassador Liu Jieyi told two journalists that "we are making progress" and "we are working as hard as we can."
