Diplomacy efforts with North Korea 'pretty much exhausted' : Nikki Haley

 Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Sunday with the United States exhausting diplomatic means against North Korea, "military options" are an alternative.


Haley, speaking on CNN's State of the Union, said, "We have pretty much exhausted all the things that we could do at the Security Council at this point."

Haley told CNN's Dane Bash she would be "perfectly happy" turning things over to U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

"We wanted to be responsible and go through all diplomatic means to get their attention first," Haley said. "If that doesn't work, General [Jim] Mattis will take care of it."
