North Korea fires two missiles into the sea after Trump letter
Shortly before the latest launches, the US president spoke of a letter he had received from the North Korean leader.
"It was a very positive letter," Mr Trump told reporters at the White House."I think we'll have another meeting. He really wrote a beautiful, three-page - I mean great from top to bottom - a really beautiful letter." The North Korean regime has expressed anger over the US-South Korean military drills, stating that they violate agreements reached with Mr Trump and South Korea's President Moon Jae-in.The exercises are mainly computer-simulated and are more low key than previous drills between the US and South Korea, which the North has deemed as provocations.
