Haley spoke on several television networks Monday morning, praising China's involvement in trying to pressure North Korea to cease missile testing and criticized its leader, Kim Jong-un, as unstable and paranoid.
Haley told NBC's "Today Show" that "we are not going to do something unless he gives us reason to do something," such as attacking a US military base or using an intercontinental ballistic missile.
When asked what would happen if North Korea tests another missile or nuclear device, Haley told NBC: "I think then the president steps in and decides what's going to happen." (AP)
