Republican senator splits with Trump on North Korea: 'Those strikes are disturbing'
Sen. Joni Ernst on Sunday pushed back against President Donald Trump’s nonchalant response to North Korea’s recent missile strikes, calling for the U.S. to take a “strong stance” against the authoritarian regime.
“North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me,” the president tweeted. “I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?”
"I understand the President wants to maintain a relationship with North Korea so that we can work with them. However, those strikes are disturbing." - Sen. Joni Ernst on President Trump downplaying North Korea's short range missile tests https://t.co/D59k0a7XyS #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/a0EhIqIR7i
