UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday strongly pressured the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to give up its nuclear weapons and criticized the Iran nuclear deal in his first speech at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly.
Trump warned that the United States "will have no choice than to totally destroy" the DPRK unless Pyongyang refrains from its nuclear tests and missile launches.
He also blasted the nuclear deal with Iran as "one of the worst and one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into."
