North Korea has claimed Donald Trump "begged for a nuclear war" on the Korean peninsula during his first tour of Asia.
In a statement issued through its state news agency,
Pyongyang said the US President's trip "laid bare his true nature as
destroyer of world peace".
Trump warned North Korea not to underestimate the US as he used his Asia visit to
seek support for ramping up sanctions on the secretive state.
On Wednesday, during his speech in Seoul, South Korea,
he told North Korean leader Kim Jong-un his commitment to developing nuclear
weapons was "not making you safer".
"They are putting your regime in grave
danger. Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face,”
he added.
"Trump made his conceived attempt yet
again to alienate our people from the government," said a North Korean
foreign ministry spokesman. "Trump, during his visit, laid bare his true
nature as destroyer of world peace and stability and begged for a nuclear war
on the Korean peninsula."
The spokesman said nothing would deter
North Korea from pursuing its nuclear weapons programme.
