President Donald Trump said he wasn’t bothered by recent North Korean ballistic missile tests his national security adviser labeled a violation of UN resolutions, adding that sanctions on the country give him time to reach a disarmament deal with Kim Jong Un.
Trump said he believes the North Korean leader wants to build up his country’s economy, and that giving up nuclear weapons is a way to do that. The U.S. president, who’s on a state visit to Japan, spoke Monday after a summit with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo.
