The U. S. issued a stern warning to both China and North Korea in the wake of a successful North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile test.
The U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said that Beijing risks trade with the U. S. if it continues to trade with North Korea in violation of sanctions, according to the Associated Press. She also reminded Pyongyang that the application of military force is an option which remains on the table. “One of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces. We will use them if we must.”
Haley explained that North Korea’s actions are “quickly closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution, ” Reuters reports .
North Korea tested a new ICBM — the Hwasong-14 — Tuesday. Expert observers suspect that the missile could have a range of about 4,000 miles, although some believe the missile may be able to strike targets at even greater distances.
In the aftermath, President Donald Trump called out China on Twitter.
North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea…..

….and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!
