North Korea’s new missile test signals little appetite for détente with Trump

Live Mint  

SEOUL—North Korea carried out its first missile test since Donald Trump’s election victory, a sign that Pyongyang appears to be in no rush to curtail its illicit activities and pivot back to diplomacy despite a turnover in U.S. administration. With the president-elect’s inauguration two weeks away, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declined opportunities to show Trump and the U.S. he has peace talks on his mind. In the buildup to potential talks, Kim’s hand looks stronger to the U.S. and Trump, by demonstrating how North Korea’s weapons tests can occur with relative impunity. The two countries’ military ties could deepen even more, with Russia showing a willingness to provide North Korea with advanced space and satellite technology in return for the Kim regime’s war assistance, said Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a Monday press conference in Seoul.
