The U. S. ambassador to the United Nations , Nikki Haley , said the U. S. is reevaluating its approach to North Korea after the country launched five ballistic missiles earlier this week.
“We are considering every option that’s on the table,” Haley told reporters at UN headquarters Wednesday following a Security Council meeting on North Korea’s latest provocation. “We’re not ruling anything out,” she added.
Haley would not comment directly about a recent New York Times report that the U. S. would consider striking North Korean nuclear sites.
Joining Haley were her Japanese counterpart, ambassador Koro Bessho, and the South Korean ambassador Cho Tae-vul. Last night, a joint UN Security Council statement “strongly condemned” North Korea’s recent actions and called upon members to “redouble their efforts to implement the measures imposed” on the dictatorship.
Haley said today that in addition to following through on existing sanctions, UN members need to “increase their strengths” in terms of alternative options for “getting the attention of North Korea as we go forward.
