Trump, speaking to reporters on Monday, said the council also failed to act in response to a recent Syrian chemical weapons attack, which he called a "great disappointment"
"The status quo in North Korea is also unacceptable and the council must be prepared to impose additional and stronger sanctions on North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programs," Trump said
"This is a real threat to the world, whether we want to talk about it or not. North Korea is a big world problem and it's a problem that we have to finally solve," he said.
