China, North Korea's most important backer, meanwhile, urged Washington to take “concrete steps” as soon as possible to implement agreements reached during last year's summit between Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore. “We'll find out what the surprise is and we'll deal with it very successfully,” Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort. “We'll see what happens.”
US military commanders have said that the North Korean response could involve the testing of a long-range missile, something North Korea has suspended, along with nuclear bomb tests, since 2017. At their unprecedented first summit in Singapore in 2018, the two sides agreed to work together to build a “lasting and stable peace regime” to replace the 1950-53 Korean War armistice, while North Korea committed “to work toward complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.”
