Trump's Asia summit tour includes meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other regional leaders as trade tensions with Beijing escalate.

North Korea has performed its first ballistic missile tests in five months, days before U.S. President Donald Trump and other leaders are expected to meet in South Korea.

State media said the sea-to-surface cruise missiles fired Tuesday flew for more than two hours before accurately striking targets in its western waters.

The launches follow North Korea’s tests of short-range ballistic missiles last week, which it said involved a new hypersonic weapon intended to bolster its nuclear deterrent.

For the families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korean agents decades ago, this week is perhaps the best shot they’ve had in years of substantive progress.

Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung finalised details of their fraught trade deal at a summit in South Korea, and the U.S. president also sounded an optimistic note about a looming summit with China's Xi Jinping.

Russian President Vladimir Putin asked North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui during talks in the Kremlin on Monday to tell his country's leader Kim Jong Un that everything was \"going to plan\" in bilateral relations.
