Trump downplays North Korea missile tests
The president on Thursday said the latest launch involved short-range missiles, adding that"nobody's happy about it."Experts say the latest tests are a tactical move by North Korea to increase pressure for negotiations to resume after Trump and Kim"Denuclearization is not going to happen," said Andrei Lankov, professor of Korean studies at Kookmin University in Seoul."North Koreans are not going to surrender nuclear weapons.
Yet talks have continued, with U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun taking part in a three-day visit to South Korea where he met with North Korean officials this week.that a third summit with Kim"would be good" as the two leaders expressed openness to reviving their stalled nuclear diplomacy.
In the interview on Friday he said that he had not lost faith in his relationship with the North Korean leader. “I mean it’s possible that at some point I will, but right now not at all,” he told Politico. South Korea has also minimized the significance of the missile tests, using the"least menacing-sounding" language in its response, to prevent conflict from breaking out on the peninsula, said Lankov.
In contrast Japan's Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kotaro Nogami said Friday that the tests were in contravention of United Nations Security Council resolutions which bar North Korea from engaging in any ballistic activity.
