U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley says that the United States will send its full delegation of athletes to next year's PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
 
Haley made the remark on Sunday during an interview with Fox News, when asked whether the U.S. would send its full team.

“We’re doing in this Olympics what we’ve done in every single Olympics. If you look back, we have always talked about security in the Olympics. We’ve always talked about keeping our athletes safe.” 
 
Haley said there would be no change in American participation after saying last week it was an “open question” whether the U.S. would send its athletes to the February games, citing safety concerns.
 
Military tension on the Korean Peninsula has increased after North Korea's launch last month of a new intercontinental ballistic missile it claims is capable of striking all parts of the U.S.
