North Korea said America’s bravado would ultimately lead to its downfall, as Donald Trump arrives in South Korea to discuss Kim Jong-un’s nuclear threat.
A fiery statement issued in a state-run news agency KCNA, which effectively acts as an official mouthpiece for Kim’s regime, warned the US threatening North Korea was a “big mistake”.
It urged Washington to back off or face the wrath of the hermit state, which has recently threatened to carry out its biggest ever nuclear test.
KCNA said: “The US, a thrice-cursed nuclear criminal which was the first to have access to nukes in the world and inflict nuclear disaster upon humankind, now clamours about ‘nuclear threat’.
“This is the height of shamelessness.”

KCNA said Mr Trump’s repeated threats to North Korea were actually an attempt to distract the world from Washington’s crimes.
The report continued: “The present grave situation once again clearly shows that Trump’s mad remarks of ‘total destruction’ and ‘annihilation’ of the DPRK have resulted in military gambling.
“It is just the US which poses threat to the DPRK’s existence and development and brings disastrous nuclear war to the Korean peninsula.”

And the propaganda machine concluded the piece with a direct threat to Mr Trump and the US, urging them to cease their campaign against North Korea.
The article said: “If the US imperialists try to alarm the DPRK with nuclear threat and blackmail, it will be a big mistake.
“They are persistently clinging to the anachronistic anti-DPRK policy and confrontation racket, oblivious of the reality in which fundamental changes have been made in the DPRK’s strategic position and mechanical relations between the DPRK and US.

“This is little different from sickening conducts of dolts without any foresight.
“The more the U.S. engrossed in its daydream persists in the reckless military threat and moves to strangle the DPRK, the bitterer defeat it will suffer.”
The threat comes as Mr Trump carries out a pan-Asian visit, including a trip to South Korea.
He arrived in Seoul today and sent a mesage to Pyongyang, urging them to come to the negotiating table.
Mr Trump said: “We cannot allow North Korea to threaten all that we have built.
“It really makes sense for North Korea to come to the table and make a deal.”
He said while “we hope to God” America will not be forced to use its military might to deal with the problem, it was not impossible it could come to that.
