U.N. ban on North Korean textiles will disrupt industry and ordinary lives, experts say

BEIJING/CHICAGO (Reuters) - United Nations sanctions on North Korea's important textiles industry are expected to disrupt a business largely based in China and pose compliance headaches for clothing retailers in the United States and around the world.

The U.N. security Council imposed a ban on North Korea textile exports and a ceiling on the country's imports of crude oil on Monday, ratcheting up sanctions designed to pressure North Korea into talks about its nuclear weapons and missile programs.
