US President Barack Obama has signed off new expanded sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear programme, weeks after it launched a long-range rocket.
The country has refused to stop its nuclear programme and the bill was easily passed last week by Congress.
According to BBC News, the sanctions attempt to cut off money North Korea needed to develop miniaturized nuclear warheads.
The US and China are negotiating over a UN Security Council resolution on new sanctions. China says some of the measures could cripple North Korea’s economy.
