PROGRESS ON THE KOREAN FRONT – AT 1:23 P.M. ET: We have to believe that President Trump had a great deal to do with this. From Daily Mail:
China has ordered North Korean companies in the country to shut down by January as it applies UN sanctions imposed following Pyongyang's sixth nuclear test.
The commerce ministry in Beijing said today the companies, including joint ventures with Chinese firms, have 120 days to close from the date the United Nations resolution was adopted on September 12.
The UN Security Council voted unanimously to boost sanctions on North Korea, banning its textile exports and capping fuel supplies.
The UN action was triggered by North Korea's sixth and largest nuclear test this month.
It was the ninth Security Council sanctions resolution over North Korea's ballistic missile and nuclear programs since 2006.
China's application of UN sanctions is particularly biting for North Korea.
Beijing is Pyongyang's main ally and trading partner, responsible for around 90 percent of the hermit nation's commerce.
COMMENT: Obama never even asked for anything like this. Trump got it.
