The United States wants to keep all options open on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), but will use all diplomatic channels it can, said Robert Wood, US ambassador on disarmament at the United Nations (UN) on Friday.
The United States believes current sanctions imposed on the DPRK have not had time to be fully applied and must be given a chance, Wood said at a news conference at the UN headquarters in Geneva.
"Sanctions have not had a real opportunity to bite as hard as we would like them to bite, and that comes from the fact that they have not been fully implemented," the diplomat said.
"North Korea has brought the international community to a very dangerous situation," said Wood. "They are a great threat to peace and international security and our hope is that they will choose a different path."
