North Korea fired a medium range ballistic missile last week that fell into the Sea of Japan. This was one of several test missiles by that country so far this year ordered by leader Kim Jong Un. Senator Deb Fischer is on the Senate Armed Services Committee and says even though they are called test fires there is a big cause of concern.

Fischer is confident the issue was brought up when President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.https://soundcloud.com/jconews/fischer-407b[/embed

President Trump stated earlier that the U.S. would take action alone to stop North Korea’s nuclear program testing if necessary.
