 North Korea says it has tested a new tactical guided weapon. It has also said it no longer wishes to negotiate with Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State. Meanwhile, Moscow says Vladimir Putin will meet for a summit with North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, later this month.  Host Marco Werman gets an assessment of these developments from Vipin Narang, a nuclear policy expert at MIT.
