TOKYO: National Security Adviser John Bolton said on Saturday North Korea’s recent missile launches violated a UN Security Council resolution and urged leader Kim Jong-un to return to denuclearisation talks.
It was the first time a senior US official has described the tests as a violation of UN resolutions aimed at halting North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes and came ahead of a four-day visit to Japan by President Donald Trump who arrives later in the day. "The UN resolution prohibits the launch of any ballistic missiles,” Bolton said at a press roundtable. (REUTERS)
