President Trump tells Security Council it must act on its resolutions


American president Donald Trump has taken the unusual step of meeting with the United Nations Security Council - an organisation he has criticised in the past for inaction and over-spending.

The meeting took place at the White House as the UN faces issues such as nuclear tensions in North Korea and the conflict in Syria, along with a US threat to cut funding to some UN programmes.

The US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, told reporters that Mr Trump made clear what the US expects of the UN.
