North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Thursday fired back at President Trump’s combative speech at the United Nations a day before, saying Trump will “pay dearly” for his threats.
“The mentally deranged behavior of the U.S. president openly expressing on the U.N. arena the unethical will to ‘totally destroy’ a sovereign state, beyond the boundary of threats of regime change or overturn of social system, makes even those with normal thinking think about discretion and composure,” Kim said in statement brimming with rage and expressive language.
“His remarks which described the U.S. option through straightforward expression of his will have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that is one that I have to follow to the last,” he continued.
Pyongyang’s provocation came the same day that Trump announced new sanctions on the isolated country.
Kim referred to Trump as a “gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician” in the statement, which was reported by North Korea’s state news agency KCNA.
“A frightened dog barks louder,” Kim said.
