WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — President Donald Trump on Friday assailed North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch as a show of disrespect toward its ally China.

“North Korea disrespected the wishes of China & its highly respected President when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. Bad!” Trump wrote on Twitter a few hours after the failed launch.
