North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch came just one day after South Korea reaffirmed its intention to extend US$8 million in aid to the North, according to reports. Previously, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Seoul’s approach to North Korea as failed appeasement.
On Thursday, South Korea announced that it is still committed to the original plan of donating US$8 million worth of aid to North Korea, despite a string of recent military provocations from the Kim Jong-un regime in the north that have included the firing of a ballistic missile over Japan in August and a nuclear test on Sept. 3.
