President Trump said Sunday on Twitter that North Korea has “become a great threat and embarrassment to China, ” after the secretive totalitarian nation announced it had detonated a hydrogen bomb and declared the test “a perfect success.”
It was the sixth underground bomb tested since 2006, said North Korea’s state-run TV, and it was the rogue nation’s latest act of defiance in pursuit of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles aimed at threatening the U. S.
Mr. Trump has been increasing pressure on China, the top patron of North Korea, to curb the country’s threatening behavior.
“North Korea has conducted a major Nuclear Test. Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States, ” Mr. Trump wrote in a series of posts on Twitter. “North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success.”
He also prodded the new president of South Korea against an attempt to accommodate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
