President Trump criticized what he sees as a lack of coverage of a unanimous United Nations Security Council vote to impose additional sanctions on North Korea.

"The Fake News Media will not talk about the importance of the United Nations Security Council's 15-0 vote in favor of sanctions on N. Korea!" Trump tweeted on Monday afternoon.


News media outlets, including POLITICO, have reported on the vote and the role played by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

Since the vote, North Korea has vowed a "thousands-fold" retaliation to the measure by bolstering its nuclear arsenal.
