North Korea‘s Ambassador to the UN Han Tae Song warned the US will suffer the “greatest pain it ever experienced” after the UN approved new sanctions.
Speaking at a conference Mr Tae Song said: “The forthcoming measures by DPRK will make the US suffer the greatest pain it’s ever experienced in its history.
“The Washington regime finally opted for political, economic and military confrontation, obsessed with the wild dream of reversing the DPRK’s development of nuclear force which has already reached the completion phase.
“The DPRK is ready to use any form of ultimate means.”
The UN passed new sanctions on the East Asian dictatorship unanimously.
Former North Korea‘s allies Russia and China also voted in favour of new oil imports limits.
North Korea promised that a new wave of US sanctions will “strengthen its resolve” and they will seek to become a nuclear power at a “faster rate”.
A North Korean Foreign Ministry report said that the sanctions from the “US and its vassal forces” were “harsher than ever”.
Pyongyang promised to “redouble the efforts” to develop a nuclear arsenal after the “unprecedented sanctions and pressure”.
North Korea claimed the United States’s plan to conquer North Korea with the help of nuclear weapons had become “clearly evident”.
Donald Trump claimed the new sanctions were only a “small step” and promised more would be done.
President Trump said: ”We think it’s just another very small step, not a big deal.”
