The Pyongyang problem for the Quad
North Korea at least waited until US President Joe Biden had left Asia to splash into the sea. American officials had braced for a potential show of force by Pyongyang as Biden toured the region last month for meetings culminating with the “Quad” nations, India, United States, Japan and Australia.
