WASHINGTON: U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday said that North Korea’s reported nuclear bomb test appeared to be a provocation but that it was too soon to push for a U.S. response until the facts of the incident are known.
“I think this means we have to have a well-honed response with our allies on this rogue regime,” Ryan told reporters at a news conference after a meeting of his Republican Party.
“We don’t know that he facts yet,” he said, adding: “This looks like a provocation.”
