US: North Korea Missile Tests 'Deeply Counterproductive'

Associated Press

   UNITED NATIONS - North Korea's ballistic missile tests have been
   "deeply counterproductive" and risk closing the door on prospects for
   negotiating peace, U.S. Ambassador Kelly Craft said Wednesday.

   She told the U.N. Security Council that the U.S. is "prepared to be
   flexible" and remains ready to take concrete, parallel steps with North
   Korea toward an agreement.

   But "its continued ballistic missile testing is deeply
   counterproductive to the shared objectives" that U.S. President Donald
   Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have discussed at their two
   summits, Craft said.
