THE US has told the United Nations to act before North Korea does and that failure to curb its nuclear program could have ‘catastrophic consequences’.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged the 15‑member body to act immediately and called on states to sever diplomatic and financial ties with Pyongyang.
He said that because China accounted for 90 per cent of North Korean trade, its role was particularly important.
However, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said dialogue and negotiations are “the only right choice” to address North Korea’s missile and nuclear programs.
