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.

"Trump's ignorant hate speech belongs in medieval times," said the Foreign Minister of Iran and rejected it to be a part of the UN.

Though the President had the vision to target the world filled with the sovereign state to work together for the prosperity of humanity, he ended up talking more about the ‘rogue nations’ claiming them to be "the scourge of our planet today".

For past some time, Washington has warned North Korea a number of times to stop its nuclear weapon test. These tests violate the UN Security Council resolution directly.

In his speech on Tuesday, the President criticised the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, saying: "Rocketman is on a suicide mission."

"If [the US] is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea," he added.

As reported by a leading news agency, this remark made a member of the audience, cover his mouth with one hand and the rest of the audience burst in murmurs.

Margot Wallstrom, Swedish Foreign Minister said while crossing his arms to this remark, "It was the wrong speech, at the wrong time, to the wrong audience."

Mr. Trump pointed out at Iran a number of times and said it is "a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy" whose "chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos".

Jorge Arreaza, Venezuela's Foreign Minister said with a rejection, "Trump is not the president of the world... he can not even manage his own government,"

Evo Morales, Bolivian President said, an ally of the Venezuelan government - tweeted: "I am not surprised that a multi-millionaire like Trump attacks socialism. Our struggle will always be ideological and pragmatic."
