Another ballistic missile test from North Korea could prompt a military reaction from the United States, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Speaking from Washington, where she and other members of the U.N. Security Council will meet with President Donald Trump later Monday, Haley told NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show that \u201cwe are not going to do anything unless he gives us reason to do something.\u201d But should North Korea continue its recent pattern of saber-rattling, Haley said the U.S. is prepared to respond with military force.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see him attack a military base, if you see some sort of intercontinental ballistic missile, then obviously we\u2019re going to do that,\u201d Haley said in response to a question about what activity from North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un might prompt a response from the U.S. military. \u201cBut right now, we’re saying don’t test, don\u2019t use nuclear missiles, don\u2019t try and do any more actions, and I think he’s understanding that and China\u2019s helping us really put that pressure on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me just make sure I understand what you just said,\u201d NBC anchor Matt Lauer followed up. \u201cIf he tests another intercontinental ballistic missile, if he were to test another nuclear device, when you say, \u2018Obviously we’re going to do that,\u2019 do you mean military retaliation?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think then the president steps in and decides what’s going to happen,\u201d Haley replied.<\/p>\n

North Korea has attempted two missile tests in recent weeks, one of which was successful, and was engaged in preparations consistent with a possible sixth nuclear weapon test. In response to the stepped-up activity from North Korea, the U.S. military moved an aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, into the waters off the Korean Peninsula.<\/p>\n

That deployment, initially presented by the military and the White House as immediate, was actually delayed until after the carrier completed joint exercises with the Australian navy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
