WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held talks Monday on North Korea´s recent provocative missile launch, a US official told AFP.

The two leaders -- who met in person when Abe visited the United States two weeks ago -- spoke by telephone after North Korea fired off four ballistic missiles in what Pyongyang called a training exercise for a strike on US bases in Japan.
