State Department delivers blunt response to North Korean missile launch
Pyongyang's latest display of aggression on Tuesday elicited a brusque, three-sentence statement from the State Department.
In response to news that the rogue nation fired another ballistic missile into the sea , U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson issued the following statement: "North Korea launched yet another intermediate range ballistic missile. The United States has spoken enough about North Korea. We have no further comment."
Tuesday's incident follows a failed ballistic missile launch two weeks ago and March's test firing of four missiles towards Japan .
Washington's clipped tone drew surprise from various experts, including Hillary Clinton's foreign policy adviser during the 2016 presidential campaign.
