Citing a social media message from President Lee Jae-myung directly, she denounced it as duplicitous speech and behavior.

2. The United States stated that the ballistic missiles launched by North Korea yesterday (the 20th) do not pose an immediate threat. This appears to reflect the intentions of President Trump, who has been continuously extending gestures of dialogue toward North Korea.
