The top American envoy to the United Nations accused China and Russia of “enabling North Korea,” after Kim Jung Un oversaw his sixth missile test in 12 days without political reprisal on Wednesday.
“As the Security Council wrapped up a meeting on North Korea’s dangerous ballistic missile launches, we learned that Pyongyang launched two more missiles,” Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said in a tweet.
“Make no mistake: the two Council members that are blocking us from taking action are enabling North Korea,” she said, referring to the Chinese and Russian delegations, which have vetoed efforts to toughen U.N. sanctions on the regime.
