The meeting was requested by Japan, South Korea, and the US. The Japanese Defense Ministry strongly condemned the missile test, saying that the missile traveled 1,000 kilometers before falling into its exclusive economic zone. US President Donald Trump and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in during a telephone conversation agreed that nuclear weapons weaken North Korea’s security and isolate it diplomatically and economically.
