On Friday, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un said in a rare statement the North will consider the "highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history" against the United States in response to US President Donald Trump's threat to "totally destroy" the North.
Kim called Trump a "mentally deranged" and his comments "the most ferocious declaration of a war in history," Kim said his UN speech on Tuesday confirmed Pyongyang's nuclear program has been "the correct path".
In the statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency, Kim said, "His remarks... have 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".
"As a man representing the DPRK and on behalf of the dignity and honor of my state and people and on my own, I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the US pay dearly for his speech," Kim said, referring to the North by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
