'Very standard': Trump says he's not worried about new N. Korea launch

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - North Korea has carried out a new projectile launch, U.S. officials said on Thursday, adding that initial information indicated the launches were similar to two recent short-range tests carried out by Pyongyang.

South Korea's military said unidentified short-range projectiles were fired at 2:59 a.m. and 3:23 a.m. local time on Friday, from North Korea's South Hamgyong Province into the East Sea.

"We are monitoring the situation in case of additional launches and maintaining a readiness posture," South Korea's Yonhap news agency quotes the country's joint chiefs of staff as saying.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at least one projectile was detected that did not pose a threat to North America, although there could have been multiple projectiles.

North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles early on Wednesday, only days after it launched two similar missiles on July 25.

U.S. President Trump played down the launches when asked about them at the White House just after news broke about the latest projectile launch. He told reporters he was not worried at they were short-range and "very standard."

1. Trump, when Kim betrays him again

2. Do we no longer give a damn about our allies, S. Korea and Japan?

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at least one projectile was detected that did not pose a threat to North America, although there could have been multiple projectiles.


No threat to North America, so we're good, huh?
It's insane. He values North Korea more than our 70-year allies, the ones, moreover, who are profoundly important to us economically.

4. Of course he isn't worried.

His lover would never betray him. He even wrote him beautiful love letters. Isn't that a perfect basis for conducting foreign policy?
