WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Tuesday spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to discuss their next steps after North Korea conducted its longest ever test launch byThe White House in a statement said the leaders condemned North Korea's missile test in the “strongest terms, recognizing the launch as a danger to the Japanese people, destabilizing to the region, and a clear violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
North Korea has test-fired about 40 missiles over about 20 different launch events this year as its leader, Kim Jong Un, refuses to return to nuclear diplomacy with the United States, but Tuesday's test was the most provocative yet. Earlier, Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan spoke with his counterparts Japanese Secretary General Akiba Takeo and South Korea National Security Office Director Kim Sung-han to discuss the North Korean provocation.
Biden administration officials have become increasingly concerned about North Korea efforts to provoke the U.S. and its Pacific allies.
