President Donald Trump sent a personal message to North Korean leader Kim Jung-un in a speech from Seoul, South Korea on Wednesday, warning the regime it would face devastation in Kim doesn’t abandon his nuclear missile program.
“Today I hope I speak not only for our countries but all civilized nations when I say to the North, ‘Do not underestimate us and do not try us,’” he said in a speech to lawmakers at South Korea’s national assembly that was met with frequent applause. “We will not permit America or our allies to be blackmailed or attacked. We will not allow American cities to be threatened with destruction. We will not be intimidated.”
Just before heading to a two-day visit to China, Trump also called on “all responsible nations” to put significant economic pressure on North Korea, calling out China and Russia specifically to “fully implement the UN security council’s resolutions, downgrade diplomatic relations with the regime and sever all ties of trade and technology.”
“All responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of North Korea, to deny it and any form of it, you cannot support, you cannot supply, you cannot accept,” he said. “It is our responsibility and our duty to confront this danger together because the longer we wait, the greater the danger grows and the fewer the options become.”

“Korean golfers are some of the best on Earth,” he said in the address that also touched on topics like threatening North Korea to end its nuclear ambitions. “In fact, and you know what I’m going to say, the Women’s U.S. Open was held this year at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., and it just happened to be won by a great Korean golfer.”
Trump also mentioned that eight of the top 10 players at the match this summer were from Korea.
“And the top four, one, two, three, four, were from Korea. There you go. Congratulations,” he said.
