Japan Urges China to Pressure North Korea After Missile Test

Japan urged China to take action against North Korea after it test-fired a ballistic missile over the weekend, the first provocation from Kim Jong Un’s regime since U.S. President Donald Trump took office. The United Nations Security Council plans to convene an emergency meeting Monday night in New York to discuss North Korea, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters in Tokyo. The country’s ability to put a miniaturized nuclear weapon on a missile has risen after the test on Sunday, he said.
