Japan PM Abe, Trump agree on need to take further DPRK action

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone and that they agreed on the need to take further action on Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) in the wake of its most recent missile launch.

Abe told reporters that he praised Trump's commitment on DPRK and that he would make the utmost efforts to protect the Japanese public.

DPRK said on Saturday it had conducted another successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that proved its ability to strike the U.S. mainland.
