Kim replies back will take "highest-level" action against the United States.

Giving a reply to President Trump’s ‘totally destroy’ threat, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called US President Donald Trump "mentally deranged". He also said that Trump will have to pay dearly for the threats he made against North Korea recently. 

The statement of the North Korean leader was directed towards Trump in which he said that Trump is "unfit to hold the prerogative of the supreme command of a country". He further described Trump as "a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire". 

The statement came out on Friday followed by another announcement by a North Korean foreign minister who announced that North Korea will be testing a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean soon to fulfill the vow taken by Kim to pursue the "highest-level" action against the United States. 

The statement was broadcasted by North's official Korean Central News Agency. 

The statement was a reciprocated answer of Trump’s statement in which he warned Pyongyang that Washington would "totally destroy" North Korea if any of the U.S. allies will be attacked. He also said that Kim was a ‘rocket man’ on a ‘suicide mission.’ 

North Korea has always emphasized on its need of a sturdy nuclear deterrence, which will protect it from the aggressive United States. 

Kim said that the speech that Trump offered to the world body was his "mentally deranged behavior" and "the most ferocious declaration of a war in history". 

He further said that Trump’s words "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". 

"Now that Trump has … insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world, we will consider with seriousness exercising of a corresponding, the highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history," Kim said.
