The president said that North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un's trio of missile tests in the past month 'are not a violation of our signed Singapore agreement.'
President Donald Trump said on Friday that North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un's recent short-range missile tests did not violate their pact to pursue peace last year, expressing confidence in the young ruler's strategy.
"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,. Also, there is far too much to lose," Trump wrote. North Korea tests what appeared to be a mobile short-range ballistic missile system near the resort city of Wonsan, May 9. The system bore some similarities to Russia's nuclear-capable Iskander system.
An image aired by Korean Central Television shows what the Korean Central News Agency described as a"newly-developed large-caliber multiple launch guided rocket system" at an undisclosed location in North Korea, July 31.Meanwhile, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in Asia for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in the Thai capital of Bangkok.
