The statement branded Trump's junket to Asia as a confrontational one for starting a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula as he openly revealed his true colors as the destroyer of global peace and security.

The U.S. should draw a due lesson from its bitter defeat in the Korean War in the 1950s and incidents of its armed spy ship Pueblo and large-sized spy plane EC-121.

The history of confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. goes to clearly prove that the latter should not underestimate the former.

The DPRK's access to nuclear weapons is the very just and inevitable option for self-defense to defend the country's sovereignty and dignity and people's right to existence and development from the U.S. escalating nuclear threat, blackmail and hostile moves.

Gone are the days never to return when the U.S could pose threats to the DPRK with nukes.

The DPRK is dynamically advancing despite the imperialists' harsh sanctions and pressure.

Thanks to the wise leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and single-minded unity and inexhaustible military power, the Korean people are sure to win the final victory in the showdown with the U.S. imperialists.
