Hoyer Statement on North Korea’s Nuclear Test
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today in response to reports that North Korea has tested a nuclear device:
"For the second time this year, the regime of dictator Kim Jong-Un in North Korea has tested a nuclear device in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and in a clear threat to its neighbors and the peace-loving nations of the world. The United States continues to stand in solidarity with our allies in the Republic of Korea and Japan, and we must continue to work with them and with China and Russia to ensure that the Kim regime fully understands the consequences of its destabilizing activity. I join in calling on the U.N. Security Council to take action in response to this test, to include an insistence on the full enforcement of existing sanctions by Member States against the regime that continues to enslave and starve the people of North Korea and pursue an aggressive military posture against its neighbors."
