The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea.

The tweet was in response to North Korea's sixth nuclear test, considered its strongest, in which the country said it tested a Hydrogen Bomb.
Trump's threat is expected to affect China, one of North Korea's closest ally.
Geng Shuang, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman was quoted as saying by the Associated Press, that the American President's decision is neither objective nor fair.
Meanwhile, it was reported that North Korea is planning to launch an Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM).
