JUDY WOODRUFF: President Trump is reacting cautiously to reports that North Korea is
rebuilding a missile launch site.
He was asked today it about commercial satellite images that show new construction that the
North has said it partially dismantled last year.
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: The relationship is good.
I would be very disappointed if that were happening.
I would be very, very disappointed in Chairman Kim.
And I don't think I will be, but we will see what happens.
We will take a look.
It will ultimately get solved.

last week.
It is not clear if the missile site work began before or after that happened.

and sustained crisis at our borders.

entirely.

This is truly an emergency.

REP.

but that too many commanders still have not addressed the problem.
