03/08/2017 “Two nuclear tests, 24 ballistic missiles by North Korea. That’s not normal on anybody’s radar…and it’s something that the world needs to be focused on. When you look at those actions, now go into 2017: we saw that we had a launch in February; we saw the assassination of Kim Jong Nam after that from chemical weapons…and now, a multiple-ballistic-missile launch. This is someone who’s trying to get attention. This is someone who’s trying to cause a reaction. But this is what bothers us: it hit less than 200 nautical miles of Japan. They said that their goal is to be able to reach U.S. bases in Japan. This is not something we can take lightly. The global community needs to understand every country is in danger from the actions of North Korea, and every country needs to respond to the actions of North Korea.” – Ambassador Nikki Haley By United States Mission to the United Nations | 8 March, 2017 | Topics: Exclude, Highlights | Tags: Archive 2017-2021 Suggested for You Remarks by Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield at a UN General Assembly Commemorative Meeting on the Intl Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Remarks at a UN Security Council Arria-Formula Meeting on Integrating the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons into the Security Council’s Work
