US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe warned North Korea is putting its own security at risk with a provocative new missile test, according to a White House account of a crisis call between the pair Tuesday.
"The two leaders agreed that the North Korean regime's provocative actions are undermining its security and further isolating it from the international community," a White House statement said.
"The leaders reaffirmed their commitment to combat the North Korean threat."
The United States and Japan, joined by South Korea, have requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting for Wednesday to address Pyongyang's launch of what appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile, which Japan believes landed within its exclusive economic zone.
