The United States on Monday accused China and Russia of 'encouraging' North Korean missile launches by thwarting a united response from the UN Security Council on the issue.
In a joint statement on Monday, nine members of the Council, including the United States, France, Japan and South Korea, denounced"an unprecedented number" of missile launches, saying the"growing crisis threatens not only the region but global peace and stability." FILE PHOTO
US ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield slammed Beijing and Moscow for refusing "to engage in good-faith diplomacy," and charged that their "obstructionism in the Council encourages North Korea to launch ballistic missiles with impunity." The Security Council last acted in unison on North Korea in 2017. Under then-president Donald Trump, Washington spearheaded three unanimous resolutions imposing three rounds of heavy economic sanctions on Pyongyang after missile and nuclear tests.
