Hours after U. S. President Donald Trump touched down in Japan on the first leg of his Asia tour on Sunday, North Korea warned him against making any “reckless remarks.”
Trump told troops during an arrival ceremony at Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo that “no dictator” should ever underestimate his country.
In a commentary in the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper widely regarded as an official source of Pyongyang’s viewpoints, the North blasted Trump over what it said was his unpredictability.
“Nobody can predict when Trump does a reckless act,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency quoted the paper as saying. “The only and one way for checking his rash act is to tame him with absolute physical power.”
Trump, in his speech to a throng of U. S. and Japanese service members, did not mention North Korea or its leader, Kim Jong Un, by name, though he did offer some not-so-subtle digs at the young dictator and his country.
“No one, no dictator, no regime and no nation, should underestimate . .. American resolve,” Trump said.
