Relations between Mr Trump and his counterparts in South Korea and Japan have been strained over recent weeks, after he attacked the allies for failing to take a tough stance on Kim Jong Un’s tyrannical regime.
Yet the US president also announced he was would up the amount of military hardware in the region in a bid to deter Pyongyang.
He tweeted: “I am allowing Japan & South Korea to buy a substantially increased amount of highly sophisticated military equipment from the United States.”
But the show of allied strength has been blasted by North Korea state media, who condemned Donald Trump of aggravating the situation on the peninsula.
An article in newspaper Minju Joson criticised the president’s behaviour, saying it clearly proves that Mr Trump has neither the will nor ability to defuse tension on the Korean peninsula.

The paper went on to say that he has “only merchant-like calculation” to use the aggravated situation as a golden opportunity for making money.
The commentary said: “In light of the fact that the sales record of the munitions is in directional proportion of the mounting tension, it is clear what Trump does want.
“He has loudly vociferated about ‘threats’ from the DPRK in a bid to create conditions favourable for the sale of huge amount of weapons, getting zealous in escalating tension.
“Lurking behind it is also his intention to arm Japan and south Korea with the US-made weapons and thus put them under its tighter control and use them as a shock brigade in standing against its strategic rival in Asia and tide over the serious ruling crisis.
“The US getting hell-bent on the sale of lethal weapons against mankind’s desire for peace is the war merchant living on human blood.”
The rogue state continues to release extremely inflammatory statements in state media, warning of the “miserable destruction” of Seoul over its “evil practice” of depending on their allies in the US.
North Korea’s chubby dictator Kim Jong Un also previously accused America of war profiteering, “screwing up tensions” and hoping for “ceaseless wars”.
While the pot-bellied leader did not name Donald Trump by name, he was the obvious target of the ferocious rant, which was printed in full in a Pyongyang propaganda newspaper.
These hypocritical accusations come just days after Kim Jong-un promised to launch a “merciless” attack on America from “ground, air, sea and underwater”.
