US envoy tells UN: North Korean leader is 'begging for war'

NEW YORK - North Korea's leader is "begging for war," the US ambassador said Monday at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, as members called for punishing the country with even stronger sanctions for its powerful nuclear test.
Ambassador Nikki Haley said the US would look at countries doing business with the North—which include China—and planned to circulate a resolution this week with the goal of getting it approved Sept. 11.
"Enough is enough. War is never something the United States wants. We don't want it now. But our country's patience is not unlimited," Haley said.
"The United States will look at every country that does business with North Korea as a country, that is giving aid to their reckless and dangerous nuclear intentions," she said.
