N orth Korea has reportedly escalated the war of words with Donald Trump, accusing the US president of lighting « the wick of war ».
Speaking to Russia’s state-run TASS news agency, North Korea’s Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said his country’s nuclear programme guaranteed peace and safety in the region and would not be a matter of discussion.
« With his bellicose and insane statement at the United Nations, Trump, you can say, has lit the wick of a war against us, » TASS quoted Mr Ri as saying. « We need to settle the final score, only with a hail of fire, not words. »
Mr Ri was referring to the US president’s speech at the United Nation, where he threatened the “total destruction” of North Korea should it attack the US.
