In response to North Korea announcing it carried out a “very important test” at its long-range rocket launch site US President Trump warns Kim Jong-un on Twitter
Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, added that North Korea has a choice to make. “And we hope they make the right choice," he said in an interview on Sunday on CBS’ "Face the Nation.’’
The Sohae launching center in Tongchang-ri, a seaside region in western North Korea, is where the North has carried out banned satellite launches in recent years, resulting in worldwide condemnation and UN sanctions over claims that they were disguised tests of long-range missile technology. Satellite imagery later showed the North dismantling a rocket engine-testing stand and other facilities at the Sohae site. Last March, South Korea's spy agency and some US experts said that North Korea was restoring the facilities, raising doubts about whether it was committed to denuclearisation.
North Korea said the results of Saturday's test were submitted to the Central Committee of the ruling Workers’ Party. The North said last week that the Central Committee will hold a meeting in late December to discuss unspecified “crucial issues” in line with “the changed situation at home and abroad.”
