@robertshermantv: (AUGUST 20): North Korea launched about 10 short-range ballistic missiles toward the sea, according to South Korea’s military. The launches come shortly after President Trump ordered the Pentagon to “substantially reduce” joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump recently said, “The fact that I get along with him, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing. He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons.” Meanwhile, Kim’s sister criticized the move, warning that if Washington viewed the decision as a gesture of goodwill, “they will not get the desired answer.” The missile launches are likely to raise new questions about whether easing military exercises will reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
