U.S. national security adviser John Bolton says N. Korea missile tests violated UN resolutions.
U.S. national security adviser John Bolton on Saturday called a series of short-range missile tests by North Korea earlier this month a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and said sanctions must be kept in place.
Bolton said that North Korea on May 4 and 9 tested short-range ballistic missiles, ending a pause in launches that began in late 2017. The tests are seen as a way of pressuring Washington to compromise without actually causing the negotiations to collapse. In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, the North Korean spokesman accused the U.S. of deliberately causing February's collapse of talks between Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un by making unilateral and impossible demands. The North has also strongly protested the recent U.S. seizure of a North Korean cargo ship that was involved in banned coal exports and demanded its immediate return.
Bolton acknowledged the U.S. has not been"hearing much from North Korea" since the Hanoi summit. The U.S. special envoy to North Korea, Stephen Biegun,"can't wait to talk to his North Korean counterpart but they haven't responded," he said, adding that Biegun was"ready at any point to get on a plane and go anywhere."
