North Korea Slams President Trump

Statement from North Korea and President Trump

“His current trip to our surrounding region is a warmonger’s visit for confrontation to rid the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) of its self-defensive nuclear deterrence.”

President Trump’s response is as follows:

“The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger. Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face.”

Fraught Relations with North Korea

North Korea’s irritation was likely prompted by President Trump’s appeal for various countries to cease trades and financial transactions with them:

“Together we have in our power to finally liberate this region and the world from this very serious nuclear menace, but it will require collective action, collective strength and collective devotion to winning the peace.“
