AND NORTH KOREA KNOWS IT
Two medium-range ballistic missile tests conducted by North Korea over the last two weeks were likely test runs for a new missile system and were made in preparation for a full-scale Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test.
North Korea has broken with recent practice in trying to disguise its most recent tests as something other than weapons-related.
The recent North Korean tests brought an end to a period of relative quiet from Pyongyang following a series of highly publicized meetings between North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and former US president Donald Trump.
A senior Biden administration official said the US will respond to the latest round of North Korean missile tests with a new round of sanctions to be announced on Friday by the Treasury Department.
