SEOUL: North Korea said Sunday it had carried out a “very important test” at its space launch center, as Pyongyang ramps up pressure on Washington over stalled nuclear talks. The result of the latest test will have an “important effect” on changing the “strategic position” of North Korea, the spokesman said in a statement carried by the KCNA news agency. Hours before North Korea announced its latest test, Trump had emphasized his “very good relationship” with Kim. “Well, we’ll see about North Korea. I’d be surprised if North Korea acted hostiley,” he said on Saturday afternoon in Washington D.C..“(Kim) knows I have an election coming up.
