North Korea Fires Ballistic Missile Ahead Of Trump’s Meeting With Chinese President – By Nick Visser April 4 2017

North Korea launched a ballistic missile Tuesday, days before U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet in Florida.

South Korean military officials said the projectile was fired from the North’s Sinpo region and flew about 40 miles before falling into the East Sea, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News. Initial reports from U.S. Pacific Command said the object was likely a medium-range ballistic missile known as a KN-15.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson released a three-sentence statement acknowledging the launch of “yet another intermediate range ballistic missile.” It added: “The United States has spoken enough about North Korea. We have no further comment.”

North Korea’s nuclear program is likely to be a top agenda item when Trump and Xi meet at Trump’s resort in Florida this week. Measures to deal with the hermit nation are likely to cause tension between the two leaders.

“If China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all that I am telling you,” Trump told The Financial Times in an interview published Sunday.
