Republican Sen. Joni Ernst on Sunday pushed back on President Trump’s claim that he isn’t worried about North Korea’s ballistic missile testing this month.

Speaking on CNN’s “Late Edition,” the Iowa senator said that while she understood Trump’s desire to continue to negotiate with the rogue nation, she also worried about the launches, noting that Japan has a reason to be worried as well.
