The tests represent a fresh setback as the Trump administration tries to revive talks over North Korea's nuclear program.
Deirdre ShesgreenWASHINGTON – North Korea fired multiple unidentified projectiles on Wednesday, according to South Korea's military, another warning sign that the Trump administration's push for denuclearization is in jeopardy.
South Korean officials did not identify the projectiles fired on Wednesday but said they were launched from the Hodo peninsula on the country's east coast. In a statement carried by Yonhap News Agency, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said it was monitoring the situation for further developments.
Trump hailed that meeting – his third face-to-face session with Kim – as historic and"legendary." But the dramatic event did not produce any breakthroughs. Instead, Trump and Kim only agreed to set up negotiating teams aimed at restarting talks to dismantle North Korea's nuclear weapons programs."I don't have anything,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters Wednesday when asked when the negotiations would restart.
A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the most recent contact between the Trump administration and the North Koreans occurred last week, when a National Security Council official went to the demilitarized zone to give the North Koreans some photographs from the Trump-Kim meeting there.
