N Korea talks going ahead despite missile test: Trump
US President Donald Trump on Thursday brushed off North Korea’s test of a submarine-launched ballistic missile, saying that planned nuclear talks with Pyongyang will go ahead. “They want to talk and we’ll be talking to them,” Trump told reporters at the White House. The launch was by far the most significant since Pyongyang first began a dialogue with Washington in 2018 over pressure to give up its nuclear weapons. Analysts said the new capability, if confirmed, marks a significant step in boosting that program. The launch came with working-level talks between Pyongyang and Washington slated to resume later this week.
