Alwaght- North Korea has condemned US President Donald Trump for recognizing al-Quds (Jerusalem) as Israeli regime's capital, describing him as a "dotard" in a statement released Saturday on state media.
"Considering the fact that the mentally deranged dotard openly called for a total destruction of a sovereign state at the UN, this action is not so surprising", a foreign ministry spokesman was quoted as saying by the state-run KCNA news agency.
"But this move clearly shows to the whole world who is the destroyer of world peace and security, pariah and rogue in the international community," he said, using epithets usually reserved for the North.
According to the latest KCNA statement, the North "strongly condemns" the US move to recognize al-Quds as capital and expressed "firm support and solidarity for Palestinians and Arab peoples struggling to win their legitimate rights".
"The US will be held accountable for all consequences from this reckless, wicked act," it added.
Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un have traded threats of war and personal insults in recent months as tensions remain high over provocative US military drills in the Korean Peninsula and North Korean nuclear-capable missile tests.
North Korea has joined near-universal condemnation of the US president's decision on al-Quds.
