North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has threatened to take the "highest level" of strong actions in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's warning of totally destroying Pyongyang at the UN General Assembly.
 
The North's official Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) said Friday that Kim issued a statement to that effect the previous day.
 
In the rare statement issued by Kim, he said he would consider the highest level of strong countermeasures against the U.S. in history, adding that Trump denied and insulted him and his country in front of the world and declared war against North Korea.
 
Kim said that as the person who represents North Korea, he would make sure Trump pays the price for his thoughtless words threatening the destruction of the North.
 
In an address to the UN on Tuesday, Trump said that he could "totally destroy" North Korea in the face of its nuclear and ballistic missile threats.
