North Korea tested a ballistic missile on Sunday, sparking widespread condemnation from South Korea, China, Japan, Russia, the European Union, NATO and the United States. The test is a violation of a United Nations Security Council resolution. North Korea claimed the test was a successful launch of an intermediate-range missile. The United Nations Security Council says it will hold an “urgent” consultation Monday in response to the launch. The test came while Trump hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe over the weekend at the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. The two also played golf at the Trump International Golf Club. Ethics groups say the move to host Japan’s leader at Trump properties is a clear conflict of interest.
