Sullivan Comments on North Korea’s Latest Nuclear Test

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) issued the following statement today regarding reports of another nuclear weapon test by North Korea.

“North Korea’s continued provocative behavior is deeply troubling,” said Senator Sullivan. “It is why I support a more robust missile defense system that will keep our country safe against rogue actors like Kim Jong Un, who is working to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of hitting our country. Make no mistake, the North Korean leader is irrational, inexperienced, and determined to destabilize the rules-based international order, and threaten our freedom here at home. This is also why we need to stand united with South Korea and Japan – the lynchpin and the cornerstone for security in the Asia Pacific. I will continue to fight for the funding our country needs to defend itself against this threat and will continue to advocate for trilateral cooperation with two of our strongest allies in the Asia Pacific.”
