President Donald Trump said North Korea’s three recent short-range missile tests are not a violation of the 2018 Singapore agreement that he signed with Kim Jong Un.

“Kim Jong Un and North Korea tested 3 short-range missiles over the last number of days. These missiles tests are not a violation of our signed Singapore agreement, nor was there discussion of short-range missiles when we shook hands,” Trump announced on Twitter on Aug. 2.
