General Debate of UN General Assembly ends amid war threats between US and DPRK

UN General Assembly
The VIP session of this year's UN General Assembly ended on Monday amid threats of war between Washington and Pyongyang.


After all 196 representatives have spoken from the marble podium of the General Assembly hall, Miroslav Lajcak, president of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, declared the conclusion of the General Debate at around 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (1700 GMT).

The hottest topic in this year's General Debate is the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula. US President Donald Trump in his speech on Tuesday warned that the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Jong Un, was "on a suicide mission."

"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. Rocket Man (Kim) is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. The United States is ready, willing and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary."

In his speech to the General Assembly on Saturday, DPRK Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho fought back, calling Trump "mentally deranged." He threatened to strike the entire US mainland with rockets.

"He (Trump) committed an irreversible mistake of making our rockets' visit to the entire US mainland inevitable all the more. None other than Trump himself is on a suicide mission," Ri said.

In a tweet following Ri's speech, Trump wrote: "Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!"
