“North Korea’s reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland,” Trump said. Trump offered no new prescription or specifics on how he intended to rein in North Korea. Another in the audience was North Korean defector Ji Seong-ho, who also shed tears as Trump described his escape from North Korea, where he had been run over by a train while trying to steal coal to barter for food. Trump called Ji, who suffered torture and starvation and lost a hand and a foot, a witness to the “ominous” nature of North Korea’s government. North Korea tested a new ICBM last November which it said could reach all of the United States.
