“This morning’s provocation from the north is just the latest reminder of the risks each one of you face each and every day in the defense of the freedom of the people of South Korea and the defense of America in this part of the world. Let me assure you that under President Trump’s leadership our resolve has never been stronger, our commitment to this historic alliance with the courageous people of South Korea has never been stronger and with your help and God’s help freedom will ever prevail on this peninsula.“

North Korea attempted to launch a ballistic missile on Sunday off its east coast but failed as have all previous attempts. This most recent attempt came one day after North Korea held a military parade showing off its latest missiles. The North Korean regime paraded intercontinental ballistic missiles in a massive military display in central Pyongyang, with Kim looking on. North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests and about two dozen missile tests in the last year.
