Japan says North Korea developing warheads to penetrate missile defenses

TOKYO - Pyongyang appears to be developing warheads to penetrate a ballistic missile shield defending Japan, the country's defense chief said on Tuesday, pointing to the irregular trajectories of the latest missiles launched by North Korea.

Recent short-range missile tests by Pyongyang have stoked alarm in neighboring Japan even as US President Donald Trump has dismissed the launches as unimportant. Iwaya and other Japanese officials called Seoul's decision "irrational" as the threat posed by North Korea grows.

Trump’s irresponsible and unilateral action in negotiating with Kim Jong Un has given North Korea the opportunity to make fun of Trump. Now US cannot do anything to stop NK from developing its missile capability. That is Trump’s miserable blunder in making unilateral decision.
