UN ambassador Nikki Haley insisted North Korea would get the right message as the international community seeks to halt its arms programme.
Ms Haley said: "It sends the perfect message to North Korea, which is we're not going to engage in a bad deal.”
She has supported the US President’s move despite it being met with widespread criticism.
The 2015 Iran deal was design to curb the country’s nuclear programme in exchange for a easing of sanctions.
Ms Haley said the US needs to weigh a response to Tehran’s ballistic missile test, foreign arm sales and sponsoring of terrorism.
Earlier the US President stop short of terminating the deal but made it clear the option remained open to him.

Critics have claimed the move will make it harder to forge a similar deal with Kim Jong-un to stop the despot from pursuing more nuclear weapons.
World leaders, including Theresa May, have called on Trump to stay in the multilateral deal.
Mrs May and Angela Merkel both confirmed their support for the deal after a phone call.
