N. Korea Leader Condemns Trump's Statements over Gaza, Foreign Policy

On Wednesday, North Korean leader harshly condemned the statements of US President Donald Trump over his ambitions to own the Gaza Strip, purchase Greenland, and regain control of the Panama Canal as well as his order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

Kim Jong-un criticized Trump's foreign policy in a commentary cited by the Korean Central News Agency commentary.

The commentary was released under the title “Oppressive and Ruthless Plunderer— This Is America."

The KCNA commentary instead rebuked the "current US administration."

The commentary said: "On the 4th, the current United States administration publicly declared that it would take over the Gaza Strip if the Palestinians there were relocated elsewhere."

Therefore, he condemned Trump's claims and statements over the Gaza Strip, asserting that this is proof of the US intent to "expand a new foothold for its Middle East domination strategy."

"The US' innate nature of surviving through slaughter and plunder, along with its hegemonic and aggressive ambition for global domination, is not merely a thing of history but is being clearly demonstrated through today's reality in Gaza," he added.

“This is by no means an issue confined to the Gaza Strip."

The commentary also called for the US to “immediately stop violating the dignity and sovereignty of other nations and peoples.”

“The current US administration, from the moment it took office, is brazenly committing reckless acts that mock international law and principles without hesitation by having schemed to incorporate Greenland as part of the US, asserted jurisdiction over the Panama Canal, and renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘Gulf of America,’” the commentary highlighted.

“The sovereignty, right to self-determination, and territorial integrity of nations and peoples can never be subjects of bargaining or mockery by the US.”
