Trump Leverage Succeeds: U.N. Security Council “Unanimous” Vote Sanctioning North Korea

President Trump’s strategic approach using economic leverage to gain U.S. national security has established a very rare victory in the U.N. with unanimous support for Security Council sanctions against North Korea. Yes, China and Russia supported.
Remember, from Day #1 of his administration President Trump was faced with a threat from N-Korea. On his departure President Obama told the incoming new President Trump that North Korea would be his #1 Geopolitical national security challenge.
The MSM will likely never give President Trump credit for the remarkable long-term economic strategy he deployed to gain China and Russia’s support today.
Winning Bigly.

China bailed on Fatboy? He must be even more ronery now.

The less and less that China props up fat boy and his regime, the more and more that he's going to do crazy shite that will give the United States enough justification to go all in and remove him.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.

Just be relieved we have avoided war with NK for the time being. We have China and Russia tightening the screws on the little fat guy. Their exports will decrease by 1/3. Next move is the little fat guy. Maybe, just maybe he'll have second thoughts on weapons testing and will come to the negotiating table.

Outstanding work by this admin, especially Haley. Getting China and Russia to support this was probably no easy feat.

This is a great win for Trump.
China was propping up NK exports and Trump now saves US coal along with probably driving Kim to the table.
ETA: I prefer this type of bragging over lying about the fricking Boy Scouts. Trump needs to focus like a laser on Economic success and Foreign Policy victories.

The art of the deal folks.

Here’s how Team Trump pulled it off:
* First: The review of the enhanced sanctions against N-Korea should be incorporated with the larger issue of policy toward the DPRK’s enabler, China.
President Trump, Secretary Mnuchin and Secretary Ross have positioned a severely consequential trade reset between the U.S. and China.
[Trump and Ross delayed an announcement on trade sanctions against China which was scheduled for Friday.]
* Second: The enhanced U.S. energy export initiatives, in conjunction with lower oil prices, an outcome of U.S. energy policy and a mutually beneficial relationship between President Trump and Arab states in the GCC, have severely weakened the economic position of Russia.
Russia’s energy export economy is dependent on energy prices remaining high. President Trump has brilliantly worked the geopolitical economic relationships to leverage influence over a large portion of the Russian economy.
Combine these two points and you discover the leverage President Trump’s team has created.

very nice

That's big stuff. I wonder who quarterbacked that through. Haley and Tillerson are the most likely culprits, but if those sanctions stick, those are potential game changers

McCain and his little South Carolina ankle biter are gonna' be pissed if this averts war.

Tillerson is a beast.
He's the exact reason why Trump won. Business acumen being put to good use.

Fat chance of that happening. He's certifiable nuts.

Totally agree. However this deal was pulled off more because of President Trump, Secretary Mnuchin and Secretary Ross than Tiilerson. They applied significant economic pressure on China and Russia.

$1 Billion a year doesn't sound like a lot but it's a lot to NK. That is 33% of their exports.
Posted on 8/5/17 at 11:35 pm to GumboPot
WOW! If true that a billion represents 1/3 of their exports that is gonns put a real pinch on them. That would be like taking about $800 billion out of our exports. It would hurt us to the core.
