"All options" are on the table when it comes to North Korea and its growing aggression, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said in an interview airing Monday.

"We have made it clear, we don't want to start a fight, so don't give us a reason to have one," Haley told NBC's Craig Melvin in an exclusive airing on the "Today" show.

On Sunday, North Korea test launched a solid-fuel Pukguksong-2 missile, which flew about 310 miles and went 350 miles high before it fell into the Pacific Ocean. North Korea says it is ready to start mass-producing a new medium-range missile that can reach Japan and hit the United States major military bases there.

No, but we didn't sign multiple agreements saying we wouldn't do those things, then blatantly violate them.
