Deputy Foreign Minister Chu Sun Hui called Trump "an old silk," as Kim blamed him in 2017, while tensions between veteran enemies were at its peak. Choo warned that Trump's remarks might back the situation two years ago, so the leaders exchanged insults.
Since then, they have met three times, but nuclear weapons and Pyongyang's arsenal of ballistic missiles remain stuck due to controversies and growing tensions. The year North Korea conducted missile experiments, though short-lived, Kim warns that the United States should change its policy by the end of the year, or it will turn to a "new way" that it has not yet revealed.

Cho said that his lack of empathy for Kim "has fueled our people's hatred of hate against the United States and Americans, and they are increasing." She said, "It would be better if Trump's words were just a mouthful, but it would be a different matter if it was the planned provocations that targeted us." The senior added that Pyongyang was watching closely to see if Trump repeated his remarks. "If he re-uses language or phrases that create an atmosphere of confrontation, at a crucial moment like now, it should be diagnosed as a repetition of the old silly fool."
Trump said Tuesday on the sidelines of the NATO summit that he still has confidence in the North Korean leader, but noted that Kim "likes to send missiles, that's why I call him Rocket Man." He added that Washington might use military force. " , We will, "he warned.
On Wednesday, the North Korean military chief said he was disappointed with Trump's threat to use military force against Pyongyang, warning that any attack would be responded to "immediately."
