Kerry says China-North Korea goods and services possible area for U.N. sanctions


    BEIJING (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Wednesday that goods and services exchange between China and North Korea is one area where steps could be taken by the U.N. Security Council to sanction North Korea after its Jan. 6 nuclear test.

    Kerry, speaking to reporters after meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, said Washington was looking at actions that would not be punitive to North Korea's people.
