(CNN)North Korea could test a powerful nuclear weapon over the Pacific Ocean in response to US President Donald Trump's threats of military action, the country's foreign minister has warned.

Ri Yong Ho spoke to reporters in New York shortly after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made an unprecedented televised statement, accusing Trump of being "mentally deranged."

The forceful rhetoric from Pyongyang came after Trump threatened to"totally destroy" North Korea in a speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump tweeted Friday that Kim was "obviously a madman" who would be "tested like never before."

In a rare direct statement delivered straight to camera, Kim said that Trump would "pay dearly" for the threats, and that North Korea "will consider with seriousness exercising of a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history."

"I am now thinking hard about what response he could have expected when he allowed such eccentric words to trip off his tongue," Kim said. "I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire."

We are in uncharted waters...
 
Ri Yong Ho may have been speaking without consulting Pyongyang and he could have aired his personal views when he was surrounded by foreign reporters at a hotel, especially about the hydrogen bomb test. His predecessor used a racial slur when he was approached by a Japanese reporter and the so-called diplomats from North Korea are usually thuggish, acting like henchmen of a criminal organization.

the EMP effects could be an act of war if there any.

This is madness. China better deal with it now, or we should start strangling their economy.

How about we keep president trump off of Twitter and stop him from engaging in the escalation of tensions.
