"However, he has also insisted that North Korea (the DPRK) live up to its own commitments, adhere to its international obligations and deal peacefully with its neighbors," the White House said in a statement.
The statement came after Japan, South Korea and the United States reported that the DPRK launched a rocket on Friday morning local time, whose launch appeared to have failed.
So far, the DPRK has neither confirmed nor denied the launch.
