President Donald J. Trump spoke today with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan to address North Korea’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile that impacted within Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.  The two leaders agreed that the North Korean regime’s provocative actions are undermining its security and further isolating it from the international community.  The leaders reaffirmed their commitment to combat the North Korean threat.
