Nikki Haley Nimrata (Nikki) Haley'The soul' versus 'law and order' Author Ryan Girdusky: RNC worked best when highlighting 'regular people' as opposed to 'standard Republicans' GOP lobbyists pleasantly surprised by Republican convention MORE, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Tuesday "enough is enough" after North Korea's latest missile launch over Japan sparked fears about the country's intent to start a conflict.

“No country should have missiles flying over them like those 130 million people in Japan. It's unacceptable,” Haley told reporters at a press conference, adding that the increasingly hostile state has violated “every single U.N. Security Council resolution.”

Haley hinted that North Korea's latest action must be met with a "serious" retaliatory response, declaring, "enough is enough.”

When asked if she supported hammering Pyongyang with harder-hitting sanctions, the ambassador said there is a lot to discuss about how to proceed, and added that she hopes China and Russia will continue to help persuade North Korea to curb its weapons programs.

Haley's remarks come a day after North Korea launched a missile over northern Japan.

Tensions have flared between the U.S. and North Korea in recent months, with the two countries trading threats amid a series of missile tests conducted by Pyongyang. The most recent launch comes on the heels of three short-range missile tests conducted by North Korea on Friday.

President Trump said earlier Tuesday that "all options" are on the table when it comes to dealing with the country.

"This regime has signaled its contempt for its neighbors, for all members of the United Nations and for minimum standards of acceptable international behavior," Trump said.

He also issued a fiery warning earlier this month, saying North Korea would face "fire and fury" if Pyongyang decided to attack the U.S. territory of Guam.

The Treasury Department pledged last week to target "those who support the advancement of nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and isolating them from the American financial system.”

Although the U.S. has imposed sanctions on North Korea for previous tests, the financial penalties do not appear to have effectively deterred further attempts to conduct missile launches.
