Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said North Korea violated UN resolutions with its missile launches this month, putting pressure on the U.S. to raise the issue with the Security Council.
Abe, who has long favored a harder line against Kim Jong Un’s weapon program, told a meeting of ruling coalition lawmakers Tuesday in Tokyo that United Nations resolutions must be better enforced. That contrasted with U.S. President Donald Trump, who said “nobody’s happy about” the missile launches, but stopped short of declaring them a violation.
