North Korea accuses Trump of seeking 'total subordination'

Kim Jong-un has boasted of being a 'substantial nuclear threat to the US' as North Korea accused Donald Trump of seeking the 'total subordination of the whole world'.The dictator warned that his rapidly developing nuclear force is 'exerting big influence' on the international community as he delivered a speech in Pyongyang.Kim made the remarks a month after declaring his secretive state had completed its nuclear armament in the wake of a ballistic missile test.It comes after his foreign ministry hit out at Trump's 'criminal' new national security document calling it a 'proclamation of aggression aimed at holding sway over the world'.In the document, announced on Monday, Trump said Washington had to deal with the challenge posed by North Korea's weapons programmes.But in a statement released today, Pyongyang said: 'This has fully revealed that 'America first policy' which the gang of Trump is crying out loudly about is nothing but the proclamation of aggression aimed at holding sway over the world according to its taste and at its own free will.' 'The report openly reveals Washington's aspirations to attack us,' a ministry spokesman added, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).'As the U.S.set its diplomatic and security policy at crushing us militarily and is publicly aiming a sword at us, we will make the U.S.bitterly regret its strategy with our cannons.' 'The international community should be aware of Trump's scheme to set off a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.And it should also see his real intentions behind Washington's dialogue offer as aiming to mask the US' evil intentions and how it ridicules the world.' In a speech at the opening of the 5th Conference of Cell Chairpersons of the Workers' Party of Korea in Pyongyang yesterday, Kim boasted of his nuclear capabilities.State media claimed he 'stressed that nobody can deny the entity of the DPRK which rapidly emerged as a strategic state capable of posing a substantial nuclear threat to the U.S.' He added: 'Although grave challenges that should not be overlooked face us, we neither feel disappointed nor are afraid of them but are optimistic about progress of our revolution under this situation.' Meanwhile, the UN Security Council is due to vote on Friday on a US-drafted resolution that seeks, yet again, to toughen sanctions on North Korea in response to its latest intercontinental ballistic missile launch, diplomats said.If approved the resolution would restrict oil supplies that are vital for Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programmes.The United States presented the draft resolution yesterday following negotiations with China, Pyongyang's ally, on new punitive measures in response to North Korea's test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on November 28.It would be the third raft of sanctions imposed on North Korea this year and comes as the United States and North Korea are showing no signs they are willing to engage in talks to end the crisis on the Korean penin
