North Korea's foreign minister says `highest level of countermeasure' could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb at UN General Assembly
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un lobbed a string of insults at President Donald Trump on Friday, calling him a “mentally deranged US dotard“ and hinting at frightening new weapons tests.
It was the first time for a North Korean leader to issue such a direct statement against a US president, dramatically escalating the war of words between the former wartime foes and raising the international nuclear standoff to a new level.
Trump responded by tweeting that Kim is “obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people.“
In a lengthy statement carried by state media, Kim said Trump would “pay dearly“ for his recent threat to destroy North Korea. He also called Trump “deranged“ and “a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire.“
Kim said his country will consider the “highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history,“ a possible indication of more powerful weapons tests on the horizon, but didn't elaborate.
His foreign minister, asked on a visit to New York to attend the UN General Assembly what the countermeasure would be, said his country may test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean.
“I think it could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific,“ Ri Yong Ho said, according to South Korean TV.
“We have no idea about what actions could be taken as it will be ordered by leader Kim Jong Un.“
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has confused a lot of English-speakers though this time not about what he intends with his nuclear programme. Responding to Donald Trump's bellicose warning to North Korea about the programme, Kim on Friday called the U.S. president a “dotard“ at least in a translation by the state news agency KCNA
.The obscure word is old late Middle English, or around the 14th century and means senile old person, someone in their dotage. Although, Shakespeare and Tolkien used it, it is barely heard these days.
Previously, KCNA has labelled former US President George W. Bush a “half-baked man“, ex-South Korean leader Park Geun-Hye a “crafty prostitute“, and called previous US leader Barack Obama her “pimp“.
