Obama: North Korea’s behavior is unacceptable

TORONTO — President Barack Obama says that North Korea “engaged in belligerent behavior that is unacceptable to the international community” in sinking a South Korean ship.

Obama said he wants the U.N. Security Council to produce a “crystal-clear acknowledgment” of that.

Obama spoke at the closing of the G-20 summit in Toronto on Sunday.

He said the international community will continue to step up pressure on North Korea until it makes a decision to follow international norms.

And Obama said that shying away from ugly facts on North Korea’s behavior is, in his words, “a bad habit we need to break.”
