North Korea claims to have conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test, this time with a hyrdrogen bomb.

It's prompted a flurry of statements from US President Donald Trump, via Twitter, including one in which he says: "The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea."

US correspondent Simon Marks says this could mean the US ending trade with China, France and Mexico.
