China, Russia blocked U.S. request for North Korea oil suspension at UN
Pompeo and Haley call on UN states to enforce sanctions in full and "step up" efforts
China and Russia have blocked a U.S. request made at the UN Security Council (UNSC) to stop oil transfers to North Korea, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN - Nikki Haley - confirmed on Friday.
The U.S. made the request following a submission of evidence to the 1718 committee that claimed North Korea conducted up to 89 prohibited ship-to-ship (STS) transfers involving oil in the first five months of 2018.
