TIL Desk/World/New York/ The United States’ top UN representative has said that North Korea is “begging for war” and urged the UN Security Council to impose “the strongest possible measures” on Pyongyang over its sixth and largest nuclear test.
“To the members of the UN Security Council, I must say – enough is enough. The time for half-measures in the Security Council is over. We must now adopt the strongest possible measures”, Sputnik quoted US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley as saying during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council over the recent hydrogen bomb test by North Korea.
“Kim Jong-un’s abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. War is never something the United States wants. We don’t want it now. But our country’s patience is not unlimited,” she added.
United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman dubbed North Korea’s nuclear tests as a dangerous provocation and said that Pyongyang has undermined the international non-proliferation efforts.
“We are alarmed by this dangerous provocation. The secretary-general condemns the underground nuclear test announced by the DPRK. This act is yet another serious breach of the DPRK’s international obligations and undermines international non-proliferation and disarmament efforts,” he said.
