North Korea Continues Testing Weapons, and Tensions
Tensions continue to escalate after North Korea tested a hydrogen bomb on Sunday. It was the country's most powerful nuclear test so far and comes on the heels of last week's test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile over Japan.
The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting Monday to address the latest escalation and to urge stronger measures against North Korea. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told the Council that the U.S. was running out of patience.
“Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities," Haley said. "Kim Jong-un shows no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats shows that he is begging for war.”
Daryl Kimball, the executive director of the Arms Control Association, joins The Takeaway to discuss the latest news.
