North Korea Escalates Missile Tests, Rejects Trump Diplomacy
Original: North Korea, on Busiest Missile-Testing Spree in Years, Rebuffs Trump Diplomacy
North Korea is carrying out its busiest stretch of missile testing in years while dismissing renewed diplomatic overtures from Donald Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The tests signal Pyongyang is prioritising weapons development over negotiations, dashing hopes for a renewed engagement process and raising tensions in the region.
Why now: Fresh missile launches and an outright rejection of US outreach mark a sharp deterioration in diplomacy, prompting renewed concern over North Korea's weapons programme.
