Ludovic MARIN / AFP

The US National Security Advisor says North Korea hasn't violated its pledge to Donald Trump by test-firing a series of short-range ballistic missiles.

However John Bolton said Pyongyang has yet to determine when talks on denuclearization would resume.

Kim Jong Un ordered the tests of two short-range missiles on Tuesday and last week.

This came despite despite a meeting between Kim and Trump in June where they agreed to revive stalled talks.
