Any comments related to North Korea’s recent missile test launch, right?

[기자]

I recently talked about the North Korean missile test launch.

The missile test says it is a violation of the UN resolution.

He also stressed that if North Korea chooses to increase tensions, there will be a response accordingly.

In addition, he emphasized that the North Korean issue is being discussed with allies and partners as the top diplomatic task, and that diplomacy is ready.

He added that the denuclearization of North Korea should be both a goal and an outcome.

[앵커]

You also doubled the goal you set during your inauguration regarding vaccination, right?

[기자]

President Biden mentioned the vaccine issue first.

It was also the issue that I put the most emphasis on when I took office.

He said he would vaccinate 100 million people within 100 days of taking office, and he introduced that he had already achieved that goal.

In 58 days, 100 million people were vaccinated.

He said that he would double his goal.

In the remaining 42 days, he stressed that he would vaccinate an additional 100 million people.

It also said that the goal of opening most schools within 100 days of inauguration is also reaching almost half.

He added that if teachers and school officials get the vaccine and prepare the school for the remainder of the year, the goal can be achieved.
