North Korea Slams "Selfish" Trump's Paris Decision, Prepares 10th Ballistic Missile Launch This Year (& 6th Nuclear Test)

Having chided President Trump for his "selfish" decision to pull of out the Paris Climate Accord, North Korea's Kim Jong Un is reportedly preparing for the 10th ballistic missile test-fire this year, and as Asahi reports, unconfirmed information that North Korea will carry out its sixth nuclear test.

Military sources revealed North Korea had signs of launching ballistic missiles on the morning of the 8th. The detailed location has not been revealed.

According to the sources, Asahi News reports, it seems that North Korea has developed a mobile launching pad and is ready to launch ballistic missiles.

There is also unidentified information that North Korea will carry out the sixth nuclear test in part.

North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs rebels against the sanctions resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on February 4 , "It will be seen that despicable and indiscriminate acts lead to opposite results than what they desire."

This follows a North Korean foreign minister's comments that Trump's decision to leave the Paris Accord was 'the height of egotism' on Tuesday and said it was an example of the United States 'seeking only their own well-being'.

'Global warming is one of the gravest challenges that humankind is facing today', the official told the state-run KCNA news agency on Tuesday.

 

'The "America First Policy" advocated by Trump led to the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement', the official said. The official added:

 

'This is the height of egoism and moral vacuum seeking only their own well-being even at the cost of the entire planet and, at the same time, a short-sighted and silly decision ignorant of the fact that the protection of the global environment is in their own interests."

The spokesman said that Trump's move was a 'selfish act' that has 'grave consequences for the international efforts to protect the environment'.

So to clarify - Trump is a selfish egotist for leaving an Accord that does nothing to save the environment... and North Korea is about to test its nuclear capabilities to destroy the world?
