Chairman Crowley Statement on North Korea’s Ballistic Missile Launch

(Washington, D.C.) – House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY) issued the following statement after North Korea’s ballistic missile launch:

“This launch is the latest in a series of actions that further isolates North Korea and jeopardizes peace and stability in the region. The sanctions imposed this week by the UN Security Council were a step in the right direction, but pressure must continue to be applied in tandem with diplomatic efforts. China and Russia must exert more forceful leadership and demand that North Korea cease its threatening and destabilizing behavior toward America and our allies, including Japan and South Korea.”
