The North Korean launch was a message of defiance to the Trump administration, which a week earlier restored North Korea to a US list of terror sponsors. South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed worry that North Korea's missile threat could force the US to attack the North before it masters a nuclear-tipped long-range missile. The Trump administration bolstered US sanctions against North Korea last week and imposed new restrictions on North Korean shipping firms and Chinese companies that deal with the North.
