THE PRESIDENT: Today the United Nations Security Council
passed a unanimous resolution, sending a clear message to the leader of
North Korea regarding his weapons programs. This action by the United
Nations, which was swift and tough, says that we are united in our
determination to see to it that the Korea Peninsula is nuclear weapons
free.
I have said all along there is a better way forward for North Korea.
There's a better way forward for the people of North Korea. If the
leader of North Korea were to verifiably end his weapons programs, the
United States and other nations would be willing to help the nation
recover economically.
The message today, however, says to the leader of North Korea that
the world is united in our opposition to his nuclear weapons plans.
Thank you. |
