US to impose ‘highest level’ sanctions on N Korea: Trump
United States President Donald Trump has said that he will impose "highest level" of sanctions on the North Korea.

The Hill quoted President Trump as saying that the decision "should have happened years ago" and will ramp up pressure on the "murderous regime" to "end its unlawful nuclear and ballistic missile development."

The US President further said that America was yet again designating North Korea as a "state sponsor of terrorism."


President Trump announced the move on Monday, during a public meeting with his Cabinet, at the White House.

"(This) should have happened a long time ago," Trump said.

North Korea was removed from the list by President George W Bush in 2008.

The government pledged on Wednesday to inject nearly $14 billion combined into all but one state-run lender by March in return for them implementing reforms, in a bid to boost lending and tackle a record bad debt problem. The funds will be injected into 20 lenders majority-owned by the government, which together hold most of India's record $150 billion in soured loans. Lenders with high stressed-asset ratios, such as IDBI Bank, will get a bigger portion of the money. The government last October said it would inject a total of 2.11 trillion rupees ($33.1 billion) into its state-run lenders over two years. The 881.4 billion rupees announced on Wednesday will be injected by March, while the rest will be doled out over the next fiscal year.

The Surface Book 2 will be launching in 17 more countries including in India this year, although a definite time-frame hasn't been revealed by the company. Ahead of launch, Microsoft has refreshed the Surface Book 2, introducing a new 128GB storage version that will cost buyers $1199 which roughly translates to Rs 77,000. The new $1199 Surface Book 2 will come with a 13.5-inch screen and an Intel Core i5 processor with 8GB RAM. Previously, the same model came with 256GB storage and cost $1499 which roughly translates to Rs 96,000. This means, the Surface Book 2 lineup, will now start at $300 less which should make more sense in markets like India where generally these things cost a bomb. The Surface Book 2 was launched around October last year alongside the Windows 10 Fall ...
