News Trump’s reaction to North Korea’s missile launches: “No reaction,” he saysTrump's comments follow DPRK army drills on Friday and missile tests on Monday
Correction at 1845 EST: This article has been updated to reflect that four of the words in President Trump’s comment were “no.” U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he had “no reaction” to North Korea’s latest missile launches, conducted on Monday according to the official Korea Central News Agency (KCNA). The unusually terse comments from the president on a major national security issue — just 11 words, four of which were “no” — come after North Korea conducted its first military drills and missile tests of the year and then boasted about them in the country’s © Korea Risk Group.
