The Mexican government said on Thursday that it had announced its North Korean ambassador, Kim Hyong-jil, an undesirable person to protest the nuclear tests conducted by the Asian state recently.

The government said in a statement it had given the ambassador 72 hours to leave the country in a move aimed at expressing "absolute rejection" of North Korea's actions, which she described as a serious threat to the region and the world.

US Treasury Secretary Stephen Menuchin said Wednesday that if the United Nations does not impose further sanctions on North Korea, an executive order ready for US President Donald Trump's signature imposes sanctions on any country doing business with Pyongyang.

"I have an executive order prepared, ready for the president's signature, and will allow me to suspend trade relations and impose sanctions on anyone who deals with North Korea," Menuchin told reporters aboard his plane on a return trip to Washington from North Dakota, where Trump gave a speech on tax reform. This is in time. "

On Sunday, North Korea announced a successful test of a bomb it said was hydrogen, sparking deep disapproval in the world.

Pyongyang was not affected by the wave of international condemnation in the world, and organized Wednesday a ceremony honoring scientists who conducted the experiment and launched fireworks while crowds attended.

The United States is seeking tougher new sanctions against North Korea through a draft resolution to the International Security Council that includes an oil embargo on North Korea, textile exports, freezing assets of Kim Jong-un and a halt to remittances from North Korean workers abroad.42cddfab-82f8-4561-b36d-9990f16f4ffd_16x9_600x338.JPG
