Sustaining a tough tone in the face of North Korea's missile and nuclear weapons tests, Trump indicated that he would continue to press for sanctions designed to make the regime recalculate its strategy.
"We think it's just another very small step - not a big deal," Trump said of the sanctions agreed yesterday.
The Security Council unanimously slapped a ban on textile exports and restricted shipments of oil products to punish Pyongyang for its sixth and largest nuclear test.
"Those sanctions are nothing compared to ultimately what will have to happen," Trump said, indicating he would continue to press Beijing.
"It's nice to get a 15 to nothing vote," he added.
