In addition to the warning via a tweet on trade:

The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea.

On "Fox News Sunday," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchinsaid North Korea's latest nuclear test is "unacceptable."

"It's clear that this behavior is completely unacceptable," Mnuchin said.

"We've already started with sanctions against North Korea but I am going to draft a sanctions package to send to the president for his strong consideration."

Mnuchin said North Korea needs to be cut off economically.

"People need to cut off North Korea economically, this is unacceptable behavior," he said.

Mnuchin reiterated that if other countries want to do business with the U.S., they "obviously will be working with our allies and others to cut off North Korea economically."
