North Korea Calls Trump A ‘Warmonger’ Who ‘Begged For A Nuclear War’ During Asia Trip
- 6 years ago
North Korea has said that the comments President Trump has made throughout his extended trip through Asia “begged for a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula.”
North Korea said on Saturday that the comments President Trump have made during his trip through Asia "begged for a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula."
In a statement released to a state-run media outlet, a spokesperson for the regime's foreign ministry said, "Trump, during his visit, laid bare his true nature as destroyer of the world peace and stability and begged for a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula."
"His current trip to our surrounding region is a warmonger's visit for confrontation to rid the DPRK of its self-defensive nuclear deterrence," the ministry also argued, reports Al Jazeera. "It is also nothing but a business trip by a warmonger to enrich the monopolies of the U.S. defense industry by milking the moneybags from its subordinate 'allies.'"
Trump has delivered strong words against the regime over the past several days.
"I...have come here to this peninsula to deliver a message directly to the leader of the North Korean dictatorship: The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer. They are putting your regime in grave danger. Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face," Trump said during a speech in South Korea on Tuesday.
The president also said at a press conference in China two days later, "All responsible nations must join together to stop arming and financing -- and even trading with -- the murderous North Korean regime."
Despite his tough talk, he has also alluded to the potential for diplomacy.
"We seek a future of light, prosperity, and peace," Trump told the audience in South Korea. "But we are only prepared to discuss this brighter path for North Korea if its leaders cease their threats and dismantle their nuclear program."
