After a thrashing in the Jerusalem resolution, the US came out winner as the United Nations tightened sanctions on North Korea, prompting Trump to tweet, "The United Nations Security Council just voted 15-0 in favor of additional Sanctions on North Korea. The World wants Peace, not Death!"

According to the new sanctions:

• North Korea will not receive more than 500,000 barrels of petrol a year. Crude oil has been capped at four million barrels a year.

• All North Korean nations working in foreign nations will have to come back to their home country within two years or 24 months. The plan will reduce foreign cash flow in North Korea substantially.

• Ban on export of North Korean goods have also been suggested and is likely to be put in place.

Kim Jong-un's administration receives most help from Russia and China, who too backed US.

However, The Chinese Foreign Ministry has asked all sides to exercise restraint and make active efforts to ease tensions.

Rejoicing the verdict, Nikki Haley, US Ambassador to the UN, said that it is an "unambiguous message to Pyongyang that further defiance will invite further punishments and isolation".

If the past is anything to go by, one can expect Pyongyang to take swipe at the US.
