The history of Kim Jong-Un v Donald Trump

Tensions between the North Korean leader and the US President have escalated in recent months.

Jibes have included Trump calling the North Korean leader a “rocket man”, Jong-Un responded by accusing him of “mentally deranged behaviour”.

In July North Korea announced that it had fired the first intercontinental ballistic missile capable of hitting the US mainland.

Trump used Twitter, his often favoured social media platform in times of crisis to mock Kim Jong-Un.

He wrote: “North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?”

Threats continued between the nations, with promises of “fire and fury” from Trump.

Ri Yong-Ho, North Korea’s Foreign Minister responded to his comments by saying the US had made “an irreversible mistake”, adding that a visit by their “rockets’” to the mainland was “inevitable”.

Most recently, a think tank has warned that a war between North Korea and the United States is a “real possibility”.
