US President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on the United Nations (UN) to further isolate the North Korean regime by imposing more sanctions, as he threatened to “totally destroy” the country.

He also, once again, referred to Kim Jong Un as “rocket man,” adding that the leader is on a suicide mission with his nuclear program.

President Trump, who  referred to “rogue nations” as “the scourge of our planet” later called out North Korea by name, rattling off a list of human rights violations he called “twisted.”

“The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump said during his first address to the UN General Assembly.

“It is time for North Korea to realize that its denuclearisation is its only responsible future,” Trump said.

‘Rocket man’

Trump also warned the North Korean President, Kim Jong Un.

“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself,” he said.

Trump’s strong words came after he made the case that North Korea is a “country that imperils the world” and said that it is in no country’s interest that North Korea continue on its current path of nuclear and ballistic missile development.

The President who offered strong words for countries that trade and finance North Korea said, “it is an outrage that some nations would not only trade with such a nation but would supply arms and financially support a country that imperils the world.”

US values

Trump told world leaders that he would not seek to insist their countries adopt US values.

“In America, we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to watch,” Trump said.

He said he would continue to place America’s interests ahead of other countries’, suggesting his counterparts do the same with their own populations.

“As President of the United States, I will always put America first,” he said. “All responsible leaders have an obligation to serve their own nations.”
