Kim Jong-un’s regime sent a chilling warning shot to the US President telling him it is prepared to “endanger the security and future” of America if he continues to “show off”.
The reclusive state said his address showed the “height of Trump-style arrogance, arbitrariness and self-conceit” and claimed the American leader was “terrified”.
A warning, pumped out by the communist state’s propaganda machine, read: “If Trump does not get rid of his anachronistic and dogmatic way of thinking, it will only bring about the consequence of further endangering security and future of the United States.”
During a much-anticipated speech on Wednesday, the US leader laid into the “cruel dictatorship” of Kim Jong-un and his “reckless pursuit” of North Korea‘s nuclear programme.
He said he would not let Americans fall “hostage” to a nuclear attack.
But the comments appear to have riled Kim Jong-un’s North Korea, with relations already at an all-time low.
Pyongyang’s mouthpiece Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said:“Trump also insisted upon the ‘maximum pressure’ against our country, viciously slandering our most superior people-centred social system.
“However, it is no less than screams of Trump terrified at the power of the DPRK that has achieved the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force and rapidly emerged as the strategic state recognised by the world.
“Our self-reliant defense capability with the nuclear force as its backbone will, however, completely deter Trump and his lackeys from showing off on the Korean peninsula.”
The propaganda machine also accused Trump of attempting to damage relations between North and South Korea as they enter diplomatic negotiations.
It read: “The whole world is deeply concerned, seeing as an omen of new disaster the Address of Trump who asserted ‘America First’ and “unmatched power” based on nuclear weapons while forcing other countries to submit themselves to the US chauvinistic interest.
“Trump also insisted upon the ‘maximum pressure’ against our country, viciously slandering our most superior people-centered social system.
“However, it is no less than screams of Trump terrified at the power of the DPRK that has achieved the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force and rapidly emerged as the strategic state recognized by the world, and it is purely a nasty perversity aimed to disturb the advance of inter-Korean relations.”
North Korea has continued to ramp up its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes in recent months and continually threatens to target the US.
Donald Trump used his first State of the Union speech to the US Congress, to send a warning to Kim Jong-un, saying: ”North Korea’s reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland.
“We are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from ever happening.”
