Abe, Trump agree N. Korea launch poses "clear challenge" to region
TOKYO, March 7 (PNA/Kyodo) -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed Tuesday that North Korea's test-firing of ballistic missiles the previous day poses a "clear challenge" to the region and the international community.
Trump told Abe that the United States stands by Japan "one hundred percent" and that he hopes Japan will trust him and the United States completely, the prime minister told reporters after his phone conversation with the U.S. leader.
North Korea fired ballistic missiles from an area near Tongchang-ri in the country's northwest early Monday morning. Four missiles flew some 1,000 kilometers eastward before falling into the Sea of Japan some 300 to 350 km east of Akita Prefecture, according to the Japanese Defense Ministry. (PNA/Kyodo)
