GENERAL ASSEMBLY: ‘In stark UN speech, trump threatens to 'destroy' North Korea’, Associated Press, 19 September 2017
President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to 'totally destroy North Korea' if the U.S. is forced to defend itself or its allies against the renegade nation's nuclear weapons program, making his case in a combative debut speech to the U.N. that laid out a stark, good-vs-evil view of a globe riven by chaos and turmoil. Trump's broadsides against 'rogue regimes,' North Korea chief among them, drew murmurs from world leaders and served as a searing salute to his nationalism during diplomatic prime time.
