The American ambassador to the UN says the "time for talk is over" regarding North Korea,
following its latest ballistic missile test.
Nikki Haley's patience with China is also running thin.
She says Beijing must condemn the regime, and actively deter any further provocations.
Yu Joonhee reports.
Ambassador Nikki Haley say there is "no point" in holding another emergency session of the
UN Security Council,... unless the international community is willing to seriously challenge
North Korea.
In a statement released on Sunday, Haley said...
Pyongyang has already defied numerous UN sanctions,... and further talks would be a "waste of time",
in the absence of full cooperation from UN member states.
She also echoed President Trump's opinion,... that China must take a more active role in
reining in the rogue state, being its main trading partner and lone military ally.
Trump vented his frustration over China's indifferent stance, tweeting on Sunday that
Beijing had done nothing to address the regime's growing threat.
Vice President Mike Pence, was also stern in his view that the U.S. should continue
applying intense pressure on North Korea, until it forfeits its nuclear and missile
programs.
Speaking to reporters during an official trip to Estonia on Sunday,...
Pence said Washington would gather the support of nations across the world to further isolate
Pyongyang economically and diplomatically.
He also appeared to take aim at the previous administration's foreign policy approach,
saying the "era of strategic patience is over" with North Korea.
The Vice President was softer in his criticism of Beijing,... saying although China could
do more... it had taken unprecedented steps to rein in the pariah state.
Pence pointed out China's unique relationship with the Kim Jong-un regime,... that gives
it a rare ability to significantly influence decisions made by the North.
