U.S. President Donald Trump's national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, and his South Korea counterpart agreed to meet North Korea's ballistic missile threats with a strong response.


McMaster and Seoul's national security adviser Kim Kwan-jin strongly condemned the latest test-launch of a North Korea missile on Thursday during a 20-minute phone call, Yonhap news agency reported.

The two sides agreed on close cooperation, including coordinating on measures at the United Nations Security Council, according to the report.

The deployment of THAAD, the U.S. missile defense system, was also discussed.
