Kim Jong-un has said remarks by \u201cderanged\u201d US President Donald Trump have convinced him he is right to develop weapons for North Korea.<\/p>\n
In a rare personal statement, via state media, the North Korean leader said Mr Trump would \u201cpay dearly\u201d for his recent speech to the UN.<\/p>\n
The US president said on Tuesday that if America was forced to defend itself it would \u201ctotally destroy\u201d North Korea.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump also mockingly called Mr Kim a \u201crocket man\u201d on a \u201csuicide mission\u201d.<\/p>\n
The two countries have been engaging in increasingly heated rhetoric in recent months.<\/p>\n
North Korea has been testing missiles at an unprecedented rate, and conducted its sixth nuclear test despite international condemnation.<\/p>\n
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho, who had earlier compared Mr Trump\u2019s speech to \u201cthe sound of a barking dog\u201d, has warned that Pyongyang could test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean in response to the US president\u2019s threat.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific,\u201d Mr Ri said, quoted by South Korea\u2019s Yonhap news agency.<\/p>\n
However, he added: \u201cWe have no idea about what actions could be taken as it will be ordered by leader Kim Jong-un.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Kim said in an English statement carried by state news agency KCNA that Mr Trump\u2019s remarks \u201chave convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said \u201cnow that Trump has denied the existence of and insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world and made the most ferocious declaration of a war in history\u201d, North Korea would consider the \u201chighest level of hard-line countermeasure\u201d to make Mr Trump \u201cpay dearly for his speech\u201d.<\/p>\n
He ended by saying he would \u201csurely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire\u201d.<\/p>\n
Experts believe this is the first time a North Korean leader has made a direct address to an international audience.<\/p>\n
