Trump says world faces destructive threats from 'rogue regimes'

US President Donald Trump has urged United Nations member states to turn up the pressure on North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons, using his maiden speech to the world body to address what he has said is the top global challenge.


Beginning his speech shortly after arriving at UN headquarters in New York, Mr Trump said the world faces destructive threats from rogue states and "terrorists and extremists."

"Rogue regimes not only support terrorists but threaten other nations with the most destructive weapon known to humanity," Mr Trump said, referring to nuclear weapons.

He warned leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly that the United States may have to destroy North Korea if Kim Jong-Un's nuclear-armed regime threatens its neighbors.

He said: "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 is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime," he said, using his new nickname for the North Korean leader. "The United States is ready, willing and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary."
