US anger at Russia changes to UN N.Korea report 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseSeveral paragraphs referring to Russian oil trade in a United Nations report about sanctions on North Korea have been removed at Moscow’s urging, sparking US anger on Thursday. “Russia can’t be allowed to edit and obstruct independent UN reports on North Korea sanctions just because they don’t like what they say,” Washington’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said in a statement. She accused the UN panel of “caving to Russian pressure” and making changes to its report. Russia “obtained the removal of the main part of the paragraphs” concerning it, a diplomat said, speaking anonymously.
