North Korea ambassador Ja Song Nam walks out of UN assembly in boycott of Trump's speech
North Korea representative at UN stormed out, a moments before Mr Trump was due to make his debut of 41-minutes UN speech, Pyonyang representative Ja Song Nam left the General Assembly hall in New York. North Korea has confirmed they deliberately boycotted the President's 41-minute speech, which did little to ease tensions, but just increasing hostility between the once two brother's nations. It is the latest spat in a war of words between North Korea and the US over Kim Jong-un's nuclear ambition. North Korean UN mission said a junior diplomat remained in the delegation's front-row seat to hear Mr Trump describe the country's leader as "Rocket Man" in another incendiary speech.
The ambassador left the hall shortly before Mr Trump was due to speak
North Korea sent an unspoken message to the U.S. ahead of President Donald Trump's speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. Its ambassador to the United Nations, Ja Song Nam, left the room before Trump arrived to speak. The North Korean mission to the U.N. told the mediahouse that it "boycotted" the speech. The ambassador has been outspoken about the U.S. military presence in South Korea. He wrote a letter on March 6 to the British U.N. ambassador, saying "the situation on the Korean Peninsula is again inching to the brink of a nuclear war" due to U.S.-South Korea military drills,he said: "They are responsible for the starvation of millions of North Koreans. "We want harmony and friendship, not hardship and struggle." The President's verbal attack on Pyongyang drew mumbles from the UN General Assembly Hall, Reuters reported. One man in the audience covered his face with his hands shortly after Trump made his "totally destroy" comment. Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom crossed her arms.
Trump issued a harsh warning in his speech, saying North Korea threatens an "unthinkable loss of human life" by pursuing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself and its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime," he said, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.Pyongyang has tested ballistic missiles and an apparent hydrogen bomb in recent weeks, despite international economic sanctions and warnings.
