Newt talks with Dr. David Kang, about North Korea’s missile launches this week.
Should we be concerned about North Korea and Kim Jong-Un’s recent missile launches? On October 4th, North Korea fired an intermediate-range ballistic missile that flew over Japan. The launches mark the 24th time this year that North Korea has conducted missile tests. The missile fired on Tuesday was the first from North Korea to fly over Japan in five years, triggering alarms across Japan’s northern regions. Newt’s guest is David Kang. He is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Quincy Institute and Maria Crutcher Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern California.
