Trump Furious at North Korea's Military Parade Unveiling New ICBM... Truly Disappointed in Kim Jong-un
US Internet Media Vox, "Trump Greatly Angered"
Trump's North Korea Diplomacy Achievements Overshadowed...Good News for Biden
[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] U.S. President Donald Trump was reported by an American online media outlet to be very angry about the new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) unveiled at North Korea's Workers' Party 75th anniversary military parade and expressed great disappointment toward Chairman Kim Jong-un. Along with this report, it is known that President Trump and the White House have made no mention of North Korea's new ICBM. This is interpreted as an analysis that if the perception grows that the denuclearization policy toward North Korea, which President Trump had pursued ahead of the U.S. presidential election, has failed, it would benefit former Vice President Joe Biden.
On the 11th (local time), Alex Ward, a foreign affairs and security reporter for the American online media Vox (vox.com), tweeted, "President Trump is very angry about the new ICBM revealed at North Korea's military parade," and "multiple White House officials said President Trump expressed considerable disappointment toward Chairman Kim." Earlier, on the 10th, at the military parade held to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of North Korea's Workers' Party, a large number of North Korea's new strategic weapons were unveiled, including a new transporter erector launcher (TEL) and the Pukguksong-4 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
President Trump and Chairman Kim have mentioned their personal friendship several times since their two summits, including the public exchange of letters. Recently, Chairman Kim sent a message of consolation to President Trump, who was diagnosed with COVID-19. According to the Associated Press, on the 10th, a message of consolation in Chairman Kim's name was sent to the White House, in which Chairman Kim wished for the speedy recovery of President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
So far, neither President Trump nor the White House has issued an official statement regarding the recent military parade and North Korea's new ICBM. It is analyzed that the focus of the election issue shifted to COVID-19 as President Trump was infected with the novel coronavirus, and on the other hand, this could become another adverse factor for the Trump campaign with the U.S. presidential election imminent.
