Trump to support Tokyo after N. Korea missile launch

WEST PALM BEACH, UNITED STATES: President Donald Trump on Saturday assured Japan it has the full support of the United States following a North Korean ballistic missile launch.

“I just want everybody to understand and fully know that the United States of America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100 percent,” Trump said in a very



short statement during a joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He did not elaborate.

The Japanese leader denounced the launch, which came in defiance of UN resolutions, as “absolutely intolerable.”

“North Korea must fully comply with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions,” Abe said.
