Biden Says U.S. Will Respond to Escalation from North Korea After Ballistic Missile Test
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden said the U.S. would respond to any escalation from North
Korea, after it launched two short-range ballistic missiles off its
eastern coast Thursday. It was North Korea's first such launch since
Biden took office, and defies a U.N. Security Council ban. Biden also
said he is open to diplomacy with North Korea, conditioned on
denuclearization.
