US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley at the Security Council meeting discussing the recent ballistic missile launch by North Korea at UN. She urged China, North Korea's only major ally, to do more to rein in Pyongyang. North Korea says the missile could carry a large nuclear warhead. The missile test is a direct challenge to US President Donald Trump, who has vowed to prevent North Korea from being able to hit the United States with a nuclear missile. The United States might seek to take unilateral action and sanction more Chinese companies that do business with North Korea, especially banks, US officials have said.
