'All options on table' to sanction N.Korea over missile activities, US says

A day after Asian giants China called on North Korea to suspend its nuclear and missile activities, the United States has informed that all options are on the table to sanction Pyongyang.

Describing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as ‘arrogant’ and not ‘a rational person’, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley denounced Kim after the United Nations Security Council discussed Pyongyang’s launch of four ballistic missiles on Monday.

“We are not dealing with a rational person,” said Haley. “It is an unbelievable, irresponsible arrogance that we are seeing coming out of Kim Jong-un at this time.”

Continuing, Haley said the administration of US President Donald Trump was reevaluating how it would handle North Korea and that “all options were on the table”.

“We are making those decisions now and we will act accordingly,” Haley said.

China also warned that continued missile activities by North Korea could boil over provocations which could result to a “head-on collision”.

Three days ago, North Korea fired four ballistic missiles into the sea off Japan’s northwest coast in an apparent show of force.

The move is coming days after Pyongyang promised retaliation over US-South Korea military drills it sees as a preparation for war.

    I know Korea is up to something sinister. It belongs to radical arm of evil. The end of the world is not far away. Once spoilt children are getting into the highest offices in countries of the world, we should expects sparks. Just like when the duo of Cameron and Obama got to seat of government of their respective country, they promoted same sex relationships all over the world. Abomination that causes desolations in high places.
