US condemns North Korea’s ballistic missile launch

Without credibility condemnations are useless. Remember how the media ridiculed President Trump’s peace through strength policies against North Korea? Under the Biden Administration Rocket Man is back.

US condemns North Korea’s ballistic missile launch

The United States condemned North Korea’s ballistic missile launch on Wednesday, saying it violated multiple UN Security Council resolutions and posed a threat to Pyongyang’s neighbors, a State Department spokesperson said.

North Korea fired a suspected ballistic missile off its east coast on Wednesday, just hours before South Korean President Moon Jae-in attended a groundbreaking ceremony for a rail line he hopes will eventually connect the divided Korean peninsula.

North Korea’s first launch since October underscored leader Kim Jong Un’s New Year’s vow to bolster the military to counter an unstable international situation amid stalled talks with South Korea and the United States.

The presumed missile was fired around 8:10 a.m. from an inland location, over the east coast and into the sea, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

Hours later, Moon visited the South Korean east coast city of Goseong, near the border with the North, where he broke ground for a new rail line that he called “a stepping stone for peace and regional balance” on the peninsula.

In remarks at the ceremony, Moon acknowledged the launch raised concerns of tensions and called for North Korea to make sincere efforts for dialog.

“We should not give up the hope for dialog in order to fundamentally overcome this situation,” he said. “If both Koreas work together and build trust, peace would be achieved one day.”

The apparent missile launch by the nuclear-armed North highlighted the challenges Moon faces in his push to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough before his five-year term ends in May.
