The us trillion government support, the u. N. Council resolution that was all 15unanimously by members of the Security Council imposing further sanctions on north korea nine days after it conducted its most powerful nuclear test. Last thursday i spoke at length with Rex Tillerson about the contents of the proposed resolution. We noted that while north korea is isolated diplomatically, it is not selfsufficient economically. We agreed that ever increasing economic pressure on north korea is in an essential pillar of the International Strategy to compel north korea to return to the negotiating table. To ban its Illegal Nuclear programs. Special at the responsibility of the security , particularly those who maintain a relationship with north korea, to uphold the authority of the Security Council and face of the repeated violations by north korea. Economicpose maximum pressure on the north korean regime. The new additional sanctions target important parts of the north korean economy. There would be a complete ban on the export of all north korean textiles. That is 950 million a year to the regime. The amount of oil that north beea could in point would reduced to one third. Koreanentures with north individuals and entities are banned. No north korean worker would be permitted to Work Overseas after current contracts are completed. Would berk visas issued. This would deny the regime of hundreds of millions of dollars that it has been channeling to fund its illegal program. To stop and search vessels that are carrying cargo to and from north korea will be expanded. Australia continues to fully implement all sanctions, including those that were imposed on august 5. We will fully implement the latest sanctions. We have our own autonomous sanctions against 37 individuals from north korea.

It seems like a familiar story. Has climateustralia reduction targets, the Australian Greens what have predicted the us trillions would not be. Around,y time it comes lo and behold, we exceed the products. Once againident that australia will meet and honor its commitments and it may very well exceed the commitments. Us chili has made strong commitments to reduce emissions by 2030. That is the equivalent of a 52 reduction.
