"There is a saying that goes: 'Even when dogs bark, the parade goes on'," said Ri in televised remarks to reporters in front of a hotel near the United Nations headquarters in New York. "If (Trump) was thinking about surprising us with dog-barking sounds then he is clearly dreaming." When asked by reporters what he thought of Trump calling North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "rocket man", Ri quipped, "I feel sorry for his aides." If North Korea threatens the United States or its allies, Trump said: "We will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea." South Korea's presidential office had later said Trump's warning to North Korea had been "firm and specific".
