The U.S. threatened trade ties with countries that continue to do business with North Korea following Pyongyang’s test of an intercontinental ballistic missile, a warning to China and other nations the administration says aren’t doing enough to rein in Kim Jong Un’s regime.
“There are countries that are allowing, even encouraging, trade with North Korea in violation of UN Security Council resolutions,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Wednesday at an emergency meeting of the council. “Such countries would also like to continue their trade arrangements with the United States.
