South Korea said it's "very concerned" about North Korea's weapons launches, calling them a violation of the agreements to reduce animosities between the countries. He tweeted that Kim "fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea, & will do nothing to interfere or end it." North Korea also said last month that it had tested a new type of unspecified "tactical guided weapon." "North Korea wants to say, 'We have missiles and nuclear weapons to cope with (U.S.-led) sanctions,'" Nam said. South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha talked by phone with Pompeo about the North Korean launches.
