For the first time in decades a US soldier is believed to be in North Korean custody. That is a scenario that could cause a diplomatic headache for the United States while it, alongside ally South Korea, tries to keep pressure on Pyongyang as the isolated nation ramps up its ballistic missile tests and bellicose rhetoric. The US Army has identified the soldier who crossed the demarcation line into North Korea on Tuesday as Travis King.

据信，数十年来首次有美国士兵被朝鲜拘留。这种情况可能会给美国带来外交上的难题。由于朝鲜目前正在加紧弹道导弹试验，并时常发布好战言论，此时的美国正与其盟友韩国一起向朝鲜施压。美国军方已经确认，周二越过分界线进入朝鲜的士兵名为特拉维斯·金。
