UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- The United States has drafted a plan for U.N. financial and trade sanctions on North Korea, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton said Monday.
Bolton planned to present the proposal to the Security Council, The Washington Post reported. Earlier, the body issued a strong condemnation of North Korea's weekend nuclear test.
While both Britain and France endorsed sanctions, they have not backed the U.S. plan. China pushed for a diplomatic solution to the crisis without specifically saying it would not endorse sanctions.
"I think we have to react firmly, but also I believe that, on the other hand, that the door to solve this issue from diplomatic point of view is still open," China's U.N. Ambassador Wang Guangya said.
Sources involved with the Security Council told the Post that Bolton described the U.S. sanctions plan as one that would hinder North Korea's importing or exporting nuclear materials and its financing. The proposed resolution is also designed to convince North Korea to return to the six-party talks.
