North Korea has made no secret of its plans to perfect a nuclear-tipped missile capable of reaching the US mainland. It regularly threatens to destroy the United States and its “puppet”, South Korea.

Trump is to visit five Asian nations in coming days for talks in which North Korea will be a major focus. The visit includes the North’s lone major ally, China, and US allies Japan and South Korea, which have watched with increasing worry as Trump and North Korea have exchanged bellicose rhetoric.
