(CNN)The United States will pay a "due price" if harsh sanctions against North Korea are agreed at a United Nations Security Council meeting in New York Monday.

North Korea's Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on state media that if the US "does rig up the illegal and unlawful 'resolution'" it would respond in kind.

"The DPRK is ready and willing to use any form of ultimate means," the statement said, referring to the country by its official name the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

"The forthcoming measures to be taken by the DPRK will cause the US the greatest pain and suffering it had ever gone through in its entire history."

1. Yawn

When isn't North Korea shouting some bombastic threat at the world?

This is one Trump Administration idea that is decent. One Obama had in his back pocket too.

Frankly, full sanctions and seizing of their assets should have been done back when they tested their first nuclear device.
