President Donald Trump while speaking at the United Nations on Tuesday said that if the United States is forced to defend itself from North Korea, it will have no choice but to "totally destroy the country."  

Trump is speaking now and has touched on a variety of subjects, focusing specifically on North Korea and Iran, calling Kim Jong-Un "Rocket Man."

"The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy the country," Trump said. "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime."

"The United States is ready, willing and and able, but hopefully, this will not be necessary," he added. "That's what the United Nations is all about. That's what the United Nations is for."
