North Korea Tests New 'Tactical' Weapon, Releases U.S. Prisoner

Description

According to Reuters, North Korea’s leader witnessed the test of a newly developed high-tech weapon, while also releasing a U.S. prisoner, sending conflicting signals at a time of sensitive negotiations. Kim Jong Un’s visit to the test site of what North Korea’s state media called a “tactical weapon," threatened to sour the diplomatic atmosphere at a time when negotiations between North Korea and the United States appear to have stalled.
