Donald Trump has appeared to threaten regime change against North Korea, tweeting to say if the country’s foreign minister echoed the thoughts of its leader they “won’t be around much longer”.
North Korea’s foreign minister, Ri Yong-ho, had earlier said that targetting the United States mainland with its rockets was inevitable after “Mr Evil President” Donald Trump called Kim Jong-un “rocket man”.
Afterwards, Trump took to twitter to say: “Just heard foreign minister of North Korea speak at UN If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!”
Ri had called the US President “a mentally deranged person full of megalomania and complacency” who was trying to turn the UN into a “gangsters’ nest”.
The mudslinging came as US bombers and fighter escorts flew to the farthest point north of the border between North and South Korea by any such aircraft had this century. The Pentagon said the mission, in international airspace, showed how seriously Trump takes the North’s “reckless behaviour”. North Korea has said it intends to build a missile capable of striking all parts of the US with a nuclear bomb.
