North Korea confirmed Thursday it has carried out its first underwater-launched ballistic missile test in three years, in an apparent bid to dial up pressure on the United States ahead of a weekend resumption of their nuclear diplomacy.
It didn’t say which outside forces threaten its security. But North Korea has previously said it was forced to develop nuclear-armed missiles to cope with U.S. military threats. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said the North Korean missile traveled about 450 kilometers at a maximum altitude of 910 kilometers . Ministry officials said the missile flew higher than any other short-range weapons North Korea test-fired in recent months.
North Korean and U.S. officials are to meet on Saturday to restart diplomacy on how to end the North Korean nuclear crisis. That diplomacy largely remains stalemated after the February breakdown of a second summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam.
Hey realDonaldTrump is this just normal testing? Asking for a global community.
I'm sure there's a beautiful letter on its way
Trump has been the most successful president in history in faciliating the growth of the NK nuclear arsenal.
Watch out, 45 will give away the farm for a signed agreement to offset the Ukraine debacle ahead of election!
It would be a real shame wink, wink if that North Korean ballistic-missile sub encountered any 'difficulties' approaching the US West Coast on patrol, huh? 🙄
no pissing contests or King of the hill. Jong Un may also b narcissistic— but he unlike TRump actually get to reflect what’s going through his mind & make it a reality. plus im sure his ideas are not plagiarized KimJungUnOutdidtRump
Trump failing, of course. He can’t do anything right.
Trump thinks & tweets to his fan base they are playing a wonderful game of 3D chess. The reality is they have been playing Go Fish. The disturbing part is Trump hasn't got any cards in his hand.
Hmmm. They didn't have that 3 years ago. Thanks Trump.
What an embarrassment. 😞
Wow, Trump's plan is working...
Donalds lover-boy
Im. So. Tired. Of. All. The. Winning.
So much winning.
