CBSN: North Korea Missile Launch into Sea of Japan Is a Message About Stalled Talks with U.S.

RUSH EXCERPT:

INOCENCIO: “Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe referred to them as ballistic missiles which represent a serious threat to the entire world. State media reported north korean troops conducted artillery drills near the country see boundary with The South. In recent weeks, North Korea has ramped up its displays of military force, while warning the United States that a crisis could be at hand if a new nuclear deal isn’t reached by September 30 first. North Korea’s economy has been struggling since the U.S. Imposed sanctions over the country’s nuclear program, but talks between the two countries have been stalled since February, when President Trump rejected North Korea’s demands that U.S. Imposed sanctions be removed. Since then, the message has been loud and clear. The Trump Administration has yet to respond to North Korea’s December 31 deadline, but the State Department is aware of this launch and is monitoring the situation with its regional allies.”
