>We are once again at a time of reckoning.
>We have some options.
>First, we should continue to treat North Korea as the international pariah it has become by taking its UN Rights and Privileges away, including its voting powers.
>Second, we know the main driver of its nuclear production is oil. Through sanctions we have cut off 90 percent of North Korean trade and 30 percent of its oil.
>But the crude oil remains.
>The major supplier of that oil is China.
>In 2003, China actually stopped the oil to North Korea.
>Soon after, North Korea came to the table.
>We need China to do more.
>President Trump called Chinese President Xi this morning
>And told him that we have come to the point that China must cut off the oil from North Korea.
>That would be a pivotal step in the world’s effort to stop this international pariah.
>As I mentioned, many countries have made some big economic and political sacrifices by cutting ties with North Korea.
>They did that to serve the peace and security of all of us.
>We now turn to President Xi to also take that stand.
>We believe he has an opportunity to do the right thing for the benefit of all countries.
>China must show leadership and follow through.
>China can do this on its own,
>Or we can take the oil situation into our own hands.
>The dictator of North Korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war, not farther from it.
>We have never sought war with North Korea, and still today we do not seek it.
>If war does come, it will be because of continued acts of aggression like we witnessed yesterday.
>And if war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed.
