US calls for urgent UN meeting on North Korea sanctions after accusing Russia of interfering with report


“Given recent efforts by some Member States to undermine and obstruct North Korea sanctions implementation, the United States has called an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting for Monday at 10 a.m. to discuss the implementation and enforcement of U.N. sanctions on North Korea,” a statement from the U.S. Mission read. “Russia can’t be allowed to edit and obstruct independent U.N. reports on North Korea sanctions just because they don’t like what they say. The Security Council, led by the U.S., ramped up sanctions on North Korea last year amid the rogue nation’s nuclear tests, imposing sanctions on exports from oil to seafood. Haley’s call for the Security Council meeting on Monday was met with some bipartisan support in Congress. “Without this pressure, North Korea will not denuclearize," Gardner and Markey said.
