After **rth Korea conducted its intercontinental ballistic missile test last week, Nikki Haley said that while the US wanted to avoid conflict, it was determined to halt **rth Korea’s nuclear drive.
"The fact that they launched an ICBM test is hugely dangerous **t just for us, but for so many of our friends in the world, and we’ve got to put a stop to it," Haley told CBS television. Haley told the UN Security Council last week that the US planned a new resolution which would ramp up sanctions on **rth Korea but also ensure that existing measures are enforced.
China is **rth Korea’s main ally and the US has become increasingly frustrated at what it sees as Beijing’s failure to ensure the existing sanctions against the regime of Kim Jong-Un are fully implemented.
"It will be very telling based on how other countries respond -- whether they want to hold Kim Jong-Un’s hand through this process or whether they want to be on the side of so many countries who k**w that this is a dangerous person with the access to an ICBM," said Haley.
"So we’re going to fight hard on this. We’re going to push hard **t just on **rth Korea, we’re going to push hard on other countries who are **t abiding by the resolutions and **t abiding by the sanctions against **rth Korea.
"And we’re going to push hard against China because 90 percent of the trade that happens with **rth Korea is from China, and so while they have been helpful, they need to do more."
While the Trump administration has tried to enlist China’s help in persuading **rth Korea to put the brakes on its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, it has shown signs of giving up on Beijing. Trump raised eyebrows last month with a tweet concluding that China’s efforts had "**t worked out", and Washington recently slapped sanctions on a Chinese bank linked to **rth Korea and infuriated Beijing with an**uncement of a new arms sale to Taiwan, which China considers a breakaway province.
Asked if China had let the US down, Haley said that "they actually followed through on the things that we asked them to," including by suspending coal imports, choking off a key source of hard currency for Pyongyang. "**w we have to say, okay, clearly that’s **t e**ugh," she said.
"With the Security Council resolution that we’re negotiating **w, we don’t expect a watered down resolution, it will be very telling as to whether China works with us, which we are hoping that they will."
