U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, the incoming Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs, is a bit perturbed with North Korea’s recent nuclear test. According to Reuters, “Pyongyang said the test was an act of self-defense against “U.S. hostility” and threatened stronger steps if necessary.”

“Today’s action should serve as a reminder that we live in a dangerous world and that American leadership is vital to addressing challenges such as the threat posed to the United States and our allies by North Korea.- Sen. Marco Rubio
