Trump Threatens North Korea; NK Foreign Minister Says Trump on "Suicide Mission"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has again threatened to destroy all of North Korea, a
nation of 25 million people. On Saturday, Trump tweeted, "Just heard
Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of
Little Rocket Man they won't be around much longer!" Trump's tweet came
after North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho said Trump was on a
"suicide mission."

Ri Yong-ho: "Due to his lacking in basic common knowledge and proper
sentiment, he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my country by
referring to it as a rocket. By doing so, however, he committed an
irreversible mistake of making our rockets' visit to the entire U.S.
mainland inevitable all the more. None other than Trump himself is on a
suicide mission. In case innocent lives of the U.S. are lost because of
this suicide attack, Trump will be held totally responsible."

On Saturday, tens of thousands of North Koreans rallied in Pyongyang at
a protest against U.S. military aggression.
