President Donald Trump appeared to criticize South Korea during a Florida rally shortly before Kim Jong Un's North Korea launched two more missiles.
As President Donald Trump appeared to chide his country's ally South Korea about the cost to the U.S. of helping to defend it, North Korea launched yet more missiles, the latest provocation as denuclearization talks between Washington and Pyongyang falter.
Trump told a rally of his supporters in Florida on Wednesday evening that America spends $5 billion defending a"very rich" country in a “very dangerous” area, which he did not name but, based on his past statements, looks to be a reference to South Korea. "And now the two months is up. So I told my people call them and ask for the rest of it, OK, and they'll pay. They'll pay," Trump told the crowd.
“Five-hundred million, with a couple of phone calls. I said, 'Why didn't you do this before?' They said, 'Nobody asked.’ So—it's got to go up. It's got to go up. Right now, it costs us $5 billion a year to defend.
