To move North Korea, Team Trump will have to cross China

Washington got as much as possible out of the UN Security Council with Monday’s unanimous vote to impose new sanctions on North Korea — but it’s not enough.
To avoid vetoes by Russia and China, Team Trump had to give up the super-duper-tough measures it had sought (and should’ve gotten): a ban on all oil imports and the freezing of international assets of the Pyongyang government and of dictator Kim Jong-un.
The final resolution only restricts the North’s oil imports.
Yes, it also bans its textile exports, gives UN members the right to inspect ships taking cargo to or from the rogue nation and slaps some regime figures. So these are indeed the “strongest” ever against North Korea, as US Ambassador Nikki Haley said.
Yet no one really thinks they’ll force the regime to give up its nuclear and missile programs. Which is, of course, the goal.
And that means that, if sanctions are to be the answer, the United States needs to go unilateral — and expect some wrath from China, Kim’s ally and main trading partner.
Nothing screams for the necessity of such a move like North Korea’s response to the UN vote: On Tuesday, it warned that the United States would “suffer the greatest pain.”
President Trump gets it: He said the sanctions are only a very small step compared to what “will have to happen.”
Hey, Sen. Chuck Schumer: Here’s another chance for bipartisan cooperation.
