On Nov 21, the United States called for a United Nations Security Council presidential statement to hold North Korea accountable over its missile tests. The request was made after Pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland. The U.S. ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield said: “We will offer another opportunity for the Council to hold the DPRK accountable for its dangerous rhetoric and its destabilizing actions. The United States will be proposing a Presidential Statement to this end,” she said, referring to North Korea by the initials of its official name (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea).
