Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) made the following statement today regarding North Korea’s sinking of the Cheonan:

 

“South Korea presented evidence today that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that North Korea was responsible for the sinking of the Cheonan, a South Korean Navy ship, which claimed the lives of 46 Korean sailors.  North Korea’s aggression against a vital ally of the United States is completely unacceptable, and the consequences must be serious and immediate.  I urge the community of responsible nations to show solidarity with South Korea and to respond appropriately to North Korea’s belligerence.  I especially urge the People’s Republic of China to work more responsibly than it has thus far for the security and stability of East Asia.”
