Pres. Trump again downplays North Korean missile launches—even as a senior official calls them 'huge mistake.'
President Donald Trump on Friday again downplayed a recent spate of ballistic missile launches by North Korea, tweeting that Kim Jong Un"will do the right thing because he is far too smart not to, and he does not want to disappoint his friend, President Trump!"
In the early morning hours Friday in North Korea, the regime fired what appeared to be short-range ballistic missiles, similar to those launched on Wednesday, according to a U.S. official and South Korean officials. It was the third time in a little more than a week that the North had launched such a barrage.
"These missiles tests are not a violation of our signed Singapore agreement, nor was there discussion of short range missiles when we shook hands," he tweeted."There may be a United Nations violation, but Chairman Kim does not want to disappoint me with a violation of trust, there is far too much for North Korea to gain - the potential as a Country, under Kim Jong Un’s leadership, is unlimited.
The missile tests in combination with North Korea's"failure to follow through on their own commitments to engage in diplomacy were noticed by virtually every country attending this summit meeting," they added."There is a common view that this is a huge mistake and a self-inflicted damage on their own part."
