News Trump says “nobody’s happy” with North Korea’s second missile launchU.S. President says Washington looking at the launch "very seriously right now"
This story has been updated to include additional comment from Acting U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday indicated he wasn’t “happy” with North Korea’s recent projectile launch, the second possible missile test in less than a week. Both Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo fell short of criticizing the DPRK’s May 4 test, instead signaling that Washington was still ready to negotiate with Pyongyang, but the U.S. President appeared to take a different tone following Thursday’s launch. “We’re looking at it very seriously right now,” Trump said. “Nobody’s happy about it.” According to the © Korea Risk Group.
