This comes after Trump on September 13 had said that he is willing to meet the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at some point this year.

North Korea's state media on Wednesday said that it had tested a "super-large multiple rocket launcher" under the guidance of its leader.

Pyongyang has carried out regular tests of what have been reported to be short-range missiles ever since the second US-North Korea Summit in Hanoi broke down earlier this year. The tests have been largely viewed to be a sign of frustration from Pyongyang's end.

 

Trump is also expected to meet South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the sidelines of United Nations General Assembly session, later this month, amid hopes of restarting talks aimed at dismantling North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
