„What we’re doing in terms of our defence co-operation with South Korea is in no way comparable to the blatant disregard that North Korea has shown with respect to international law,“ said U. S. state department spokesman Mark Toner.
Instead of settling for a bargain, he said the US needed to look for new strategies to deal with the North Korea issue since all the previous efforts in this direction have fallen short.
The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, also re-asserted that the U. S government was „re-evaluating how to handle North Korea going forward“ and assertively added that „all options were on the table. “
She was speaking on the sidelines of U. N Security Council’s emergency meeting on Wednesday that was called in response to Pyongyang’s series of missile tests that were conducted earlier this week.
