President Joe Biden said Thursday he has been in consultation with allies and partners following two missile tests by North Korea, the most recent testing intermediate ballistic missiles in violation of a United Nations resolution.

Until just days ago, North Korea had refrained from missile tests in the first two months of the Biden administration but also ignored overtures to hold diplomatic meetings. Former President Donald Trump began his tenure by matching the fiery rhetoric of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un but then turned to direct diplomacy with the leader, meeting him for two summits and even crossing the demilitarized zone together for a photo-op.
