The U.S. has watered down a proposal to punish North Korea for its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, omitting an oil embargo and a freeze of Kim Jong Un‘s assets, according to a European diplomat.

While the U.S., U.K. and France are united on the latest proposal, it‘s unclear whether Russia and China -- the other veto-holding members of the United Nations Security Council -- will back the text as it stands, said the diplomat, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private.

More modifications are inevitable and it‘s unclear if a vote will take place Monday as the U.S. has sought, the diplomat said.
