The test came a day after Pyongyang and Washington agreed to resume nuclear talks.This marks a departure from the tests of shorter range missiles Pyongyang has carried out in recent weeks. President Donald Trump has downplayed the significance of those launches calling them very standard because of their limiting range saying"many people have those missiles.""There have been no nuclear tests. The missile tests have all been short-ranged — no ballistic missile test.
