Haley: No Watered-down UN Resolution against N. Korean ICBM

The U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, says that Washington will push for a strong resolution against North Korea at the UN Security Council(UNSC).
 
In an interview with U.S. broadcaster CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Haley said that threats from North Korea have reached a whole new level with its latest intercontinental ballistic missile(ICBM) test. 
 
While calling North Korean leader Kim Jong-un a dangerous person with access to an ICBM, Haley said that she does not expect a watered down resolution as the U.S. is negotiating on the matter with UNSC member states. 
 
She also urged Beijing to add pressure on Pyongyang, saying 90 percent of North Korea's international trade is with China.
 
The U.S. mission to the UN is said to have given its draft resolution to China. Experts have suggested that the draft may contain measures to restruct the supply of crude or petroleum products to North Korea as well as the regime's guest workers to other countries.
