Bolton called a series of short-range missiles launched by North Korea last month were violations to U.N. Security Council resolutions, stressing the need to keep sanctions in place. The U.S., however, is willing to resume talks with North Korea at any time, Bolton said. Security Council resolutions prohibit North Korea from firing any ballistic missiles,” Bolton said. “In terms of violating U.N. Security Council resolutions, there is no doubt about that.”Trump and other officials have played down the significance of the missile tests. During his visit, Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will “talk about making sure the integrity of the Security Council resolutions are maintained,” he said.
