Tensions are ratcheting up on the Korean Peninsula as South Korea fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile earlier today, in response to a ballistic missile test by North Korea just hours earlier — its first since March and a breach of U.N. sanctions. Two days earlier, Pyongyang tested a long-range cruise missile. President Biden previously said he was open to diplomacy with North Korea, but denuclearization talks between the two countries have not resumed since negotiations between Trump and Kim Jong-un broke down in 2019.
