Report: U.S. President Donald Trump says he doesn’t consider North Korea’s missile launches “a breach of trust.”
During an interview with Politico on Friday, Trump downplayed the recent series of military exercises in the North, calling them “very standard stuff.”
While noting that he does not regard the short-range missile firings as a breach of trust at all, Trump added that at some point he might.
You can read more at the link, but like I have said before if they fire an IRBM or ICBM expect that to get President Trump’s attention.
I don’t expect the Kim regime to fire an Intermediate Range Missile and especially and Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile until talks with the U.S. have basically collapsed. Testing those two weapons is clearly directed at the United States since IRBMs are used to target Guam and ICBMs the US mainland, Alaska, and Hawaii.
If the North Koreans want to increase tensions further look for them to start firing missiles closer to Japan’s territorial waters or even eventually into them.
