Speaking at the program CNN quotes President Barack Obama as, “ The president warned North Korea Sunday that if it moves forward with a planned test-firing of a long-range missile, it will further deepen its isolation, damage relations with its neighbors and face additional sanctions that have already strangled the country. North Korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, North Korea knows its obligation.”
North Korea had recently announced the testing of a long range missile in preparation of the satellite launch where the US has warned North Korea in drawing its financial aid from North Korea.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said during the news conference that he considers the launch a direct violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution that bans the testing of the technology being used in the rocket-powered satellite.
