Written by Marcin Grajewski,
North Korea has stepped up its nuclear plans with the underground detonation of a hydrogen bomb and tests of its first suspected Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), moves perceived as a major threat to global security. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly on 19 September, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea if the United States is forced to defend itself or its allies against that country. The isolated communist régime of Kim Jong-un has continued its nuclear programme despite repeated rounds of sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council and diplomatic efforts to diffuse the conflict.
