North Korea's Foreign Ministry on Saturday issued its first official
statement on President Donald Trump's trip to Asia, slamming Trump for
trying to denuclearize the North.
The ministry said that Trump's trip "is a warmonger's trip for
confrontation with our country, trying to remove our self-defensive
nuclear deterrent."
It accused Trump of trying to demonize North Korea, keep it apart from
the international community and undermine its government.
The ministry said, "Reckless remarks by an old lunatic like Trump will
never scare us or stop our advance. On the contrary, all this makes us
more sure that our choice to promote economic construction at the same
time as building up our nuclear force is all the more righteous, and it
pushes us to speed up the effort to complete our nuclear force."
North Korea is not known to have tested any of its missiles or nuclear
devices since Sept. 15, a relative lull after a brisk series of tests
earlier this year.
