Amb. Haley tells UN: The time for half measures is over
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Monday asked the body’s Security Council to impose the strongest possible sanctions against North Korea in response to the rogue nation’s most recent nuclear test, saying “the time for half measures … is over.”
Haley spoke at U.N. headquarters in New York a day after North Korea claimed to have conducted an underground test on a hydrogen bomb.
"Enough is enough. War is never something the United States wants. We don't want it now. But our country's patience is not unlimited," Haley said. "The United States will look at every country that does business with North Korea as a country, that is giving aid to their reckless and dangerous nuclear intentions."
It was the country’s sixth such test, following five previous ones on a nuclear warhead and recent launches of inter-continental missiles to land such weapons on foreign soil.
“We cannot kick this can down the road any longer,” said Halley at a special U.N. meeting, convened after the weapon test overnight Saturday.
Her statements follow President Trump a day earlier condemned the test in the strongest terms.
“North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success,” Trump said in one of several tweets Sunday.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said later in the day, in a White House meeting on the matter, that any threats by North Korea to the United State or its allies will be met with an "effective and overwhelming" military response.
North Korea is “begging for war,” Haley also said Sunday. “The time for half measures by the Security Council is over.”
And like Trump and other top administration officials, she also said the U.S. intends to impose economic sanctions on countries that do business with North Korea.
