North Korea has blasted US President Donald Trump for recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, describing him as a ”dotard.”

The hermit state has joined the condemnation of the move and called it a “reckless, wicked act”.

In a statement on Saturday via state media, Pyongyang, however, said Trump’s decision was not surprising.

“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.”

The Asian nation says it “strongly condemns” the US move to recognise Jerusalem as capital.

It pledged “firm support and solidarity for Palestinians and Arab peoples struggling to win their legitimate rights”, adding that “The US will be held accountable for all consequences from this reckless, wicked act.”

Both nations have made countless threats to each other.

Recently, Trump warned Pyongyang of “fire and fury”, stressing that Washington would “totally destroy North Korea” if it had to defend itself or its allies.
