US postpones test of intercontinental missile due to tension with China

The US is delaying a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile to prevent tensions with China from escalating after top US politician Nancy Pelosi’s recent visit to Taiwan. US National Security spokesman John Kirby said. It concerns a routine test with an Air Force Minuteman III missile, which was to take place “this week”. A new date for the test has not yet been announced.
