Hoyer Statement on North Korea's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch

Statement

House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile yesterday:

"Yesterday's launch of a ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuclear payload across thousands of miles -- far enough to threaten cities in the continental United States -- violates international laws and demands a strong international response. The President's lack of a policy to deter North Korean aggression is deeply concerning, and it is clear that the President's soft approach with China's leadership has not borne fruit. I urge him to pursue a diplomatic strategy that places serious pressure on the Kim regime to change its behavior."
