The Pensa press service, which went on Saturday, on April 15 for a long tour of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, reported that US President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence discussed a new "unsuccessful missile launch" in the DPRK. The first stop of the vice-president will be Seoul.

Pens' aides said that he was informed of a new attempt by the DPRK to test the ballistic missile, after which he contacted Trump. As they stated, Penza was notified about the current developments about an hour after his plane left Anchorage (Alaska), where he made an intermediate landing for refueling.

The reporters accompanying Pensa were informed of all this when the vice-president was in the air above the Bering Sea. Landing in the capital of the Republic of Korea, the Vice-President's aircraft will be in a few hours.
