Kim Jong-un has said remarks by “deranged” 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 “pay dearly” for his recent speech to the UN.<\/p>\n
The US president\u00a0said on Tuesday\u00a0that if America was forced to defend itself it would “totally destroy” North Korea.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump also mockingly called Mr Kim a “rocket man” on a “suicide mission”.<\/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’s speech to\u00a0“the sound of a barking dog”,\u00a0has warned that Pyongyang could test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean in response to the US president’s threat.<\/p>\n
“It could be the most powerful detonation of an H-bomb in the Pacific,” Mr Ri said,\u00a0quoted by South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.<\/p>\n
However, he added: “We have no idea about what actions could be taken as it will be ordered by leader Kim Jong-un.”<\/p>\n

Mr Kim said in an English statement carried by state news agency KCNA that Mr Trump’s 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”.<\/p>\n
He said “now 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”, North Korea would consider the “highest level of hard-line countermeasure” to make Mr Trump “pay dearly for his speech”.<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
He ended by saying he would “surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire”.<\/p>\n
Experts believe this is the first time a North Korean leader has made a direct address to an international audience.<\/p>\n
What is a dotard?<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
The\u00a0Oxford English Dictionary defines it\u00a0as “an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile”<\/li>\n
Its first known use was in the 14th Century and initially meant “imbecile”, according to the\u00a0US Merriam-Webster Dictionary. It stems from the Middle English word “doten” which means “to dote”<\/li>\n
Searches for the term have been “high as a kite” since Mr Kim released his statement,\u00a0Merriam-Webster tweeted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Mr Kim’s comments prompted swift criticism from the Japanese government.<\/p>\n
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said in a news conference on Friday: “North Korea’s remarks and behaviour are provocative to regional and international security, and they are absolutely unacceptable.”<\/p>\n
North Korea has fired two ballistic missiles over Japan in the past month, raising regional tensions even further.<\/p>\n
\n
How do you defend against Pyongyang?<\/li>\n
Sanctions won’t stop us, warns N Korea<\/li>\n
Can the world live with a nuclear North Korea?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Mr Trump on Thursday signed a new order\u00a0boosting sanctions\u00a0against North Korea, where the US treasury would target firms and financial institutions doing business with Pyongyang.<\/p>\n
He said: “For much too long North Korea has been allowed to abuse the international financial system to facilitate funding for its nuclear weapons and missile programs.”<\/p>\n
The UN Security Council had approved new rounds of sanctions earlier this month aimed of starving North Korea of fuel and income, which were in response to Pyongyang’s much-condemned\u00a0sixth nuclear test\u00a0on 3 September.<\/p>\n
North Korea was one of the top issues dominating the agenda at the UN General Assembly in New York, where several speakers called for a de-escalation of tensions.<\/p>\n
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that “military hysteria” over the nuclear testing would lead to “disaster”, while China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Pyongyang not to go in a “dangerous direction”.<\/p>\n
