US President Donald Trump has just officially threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea. In comparison with his previous “twitter threats”, this one was made during the annual General Debate of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly.
Unless North Korea stops its nuclear and missile tests, Trump said, “We will have no choice than to totally destroy North Korea.”
“Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime,” he said calling on UN member states to join his effort to isolate Pyongyang until it ceases its “hostile” behavior.
He also criticized the nuclear deal with Iran saying that it “is an embarrassment to the US,” and adding “frankly, I don’t think you’ve heard the last of it.”
