Donald Trump has referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as "rocket man" in a tweet about a conversation with the South Korean President.

The US leader tweeted that he had been speaking with Moon Jae-in about the situation with the secretive communist state, which has launched a series of ballistic missiles in recent weeks and conducted its most powerful nuclear test to date.

"I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night," Mr Trump wrote. "Asked him how Rocket Man is doing."

He added that long petrol lines has been forming in North Korea, which he said was "too bad".

The presidents spoke on Sunday regarding the escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula, and agreed to impose stronger sanctions on North Korea following recent nuclear and missile tests.

"The two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation, and exert stronger and practical sanctions on North Korea so that it realises provocative actions leads to further diplomatic isolation and economic pressure," said a spokesperson from Mr Jae-in's office.

The spokesperson said Moon and Trump had strongly condemned the latest missile launch by North Korea, and agreed that the two nations would work with the international community to implement the latest United Nations' Security Council's resolution.

The latest resolution, passed this week, imposed stricter sanctions on the isolated nation, including a ban on the sale of natural gas to North Korea and on textile exports. Member states are also forbidden from providing work visas to North Korean national.

Kuwait announced on Sunday it will expel North Korea's ambassador to the country, after the US has been increasing pressure on its allies to cut all ties to North Korea in response to Pyongyang's missile programme.

However, Kim Jong-Un has vowed to press on with the expansion of the country's nuclear programme, until it establishes a "military equilibrium" with the US.

Donald Trump is now fully aware of Kim's Mighty Rockets and fully acknowledging his lethal strength which he can be killed by, if he took it lightly.

A true country that deserves well earned respect. Being strong and resolve and overcoming all the restrictions they faced, and firmly towards glorious victory.

1000X more truly respectable for excellence compared against NDP & SG53.

Trump's 'rocket man' tweet betrays how little he knows about North Korea

New international sanctions against North Korea have led to a spike in petrol prices, but there is little evidence for US claims that the country is being “economically strangled” or that motorists are panic-buying petrol.

On Sunday, Donald Trump combined a taunt aimed at the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, with the assertion that the country’s citizens were queuing for petrol before the latest round of sanctions hits supplies.

Referring to a telephone conversation earlier in the day with the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, Trump tweeted: “I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night. Asked him how Rocket Man is doing. Long gas lines forming in North Korea. Too bad!”

A week after the United Nations security council voted to reduce gasoline exports and cap crude oil supplies to North Korea in response to its sixth nuclear test, Washington insisted the regime was starting to “feel the pinch”.

The comments came from the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, who said recent sanctions had caused the country to be “cut off from the world”.

But experts have challenged claims that the oil sanctions will exert sufficient pressure on the North Korean economy to convince the regime to change course.

And while some Chinese traders along the border with North Korea complained that reduced access to fuel and the sanctions had hit cross-border trade, Trump’s vision of long queues at petrol stations seem far-fetched in a country where car ownership is very low and largely confined to military and government officials.

The latest round of UN sanctions include capping crude oil exports at present levels and reductions in other commodities that, according to the US, will result in a 30% drop in the overall oil supply to North Korea

However, the new sanctions are unlikely to have a significant impact on the North Korean military or nuclear weapons programme, according to a report by the US-based Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability.

North Korea, it said, “will quickly effect a combination of additional energy end-use efficiency, outright cuts, and substitution of non-oil energy forms to manage the cuts” in oil supplies, most of which are used for transport or by the military.

China sends crude oil to North Korea through an ageing 30-kilometre pipeline that runs from Dandong to an oil refinery on the other side of the border.

Even if China were to halve oil exports to North Korea the regime would respond by cutting non-military use of oil, having no immediate impact on its nuclear programme, Nautilus said.

“The immediate primary impacts of responses to oil and oil products cut-offs will be on welfare. People will be forced to walk or not move at all, and to push buses instead of riding in them. There will be less light in households due to less kerosene, and less on-site power generation.

“Primarily these sanctions will affect the civilian population whose oil product uses are of lower priority to the [North Korean] state.”

That prognosis was mirrored in a recent UN report that pointed out that North Korea had found ways to skirt existing sanctions and export at least $270m in banned items between February and August this year.

Chun Yung-woo, a former South Korean envoy on the North Korean nuclear issue, said the North could get by for one, possibly two, years without oil imports.

“North Koreans are so used to living in harsh economic conditions that they would just get by for at least one year even if the oil ban is adopted, rationing the existing stockpile among top elites at a minimum level and replacing cars, tractors, equipment with cow wagons and human labour,” Chun said.

The Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, meanwhile, has implored Asian countries with economic ties to the North to fully implement sanctions, although he did not name them.

Abe applauded the security council’s “swift and unanimous” adoption of the sanctions resolution, but added that “we must not be simply complacent with the adoption of these sanctions.

“We must thoroughly enforce the successive resolutions in order to prevent North Korea from obtaining the goods, technologies, funds and people to further develop its missiles and nuclear programme.”

Reuters and AP contributed to this report.

A joint Russian-Chinese naval force of more than a dozen military vessels, including submarines, will participate in the upcoming second stage of the Joint Sea-2017 naval drills in the Sea of Japan and Okhotsk.
The drills will kick off Monday and continue for a week, according to the spokesman for Russia’s Pacific Fleet, Vladimir Matveev.

“The second stage of the Russian-Chinese naval exercise Joint Sea-2017 will involve 11 surface vessels, two submarines, four deep-submersible rescue vehicles, four anti-submarine planes and four deck helicopters,” Matveev told reporters Friday.

The Russian Pacific Fleet is represented by the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Tributs, cutting-edge modern corvette Sovershenny, the rescue vessel Igor Belousov equipped with deep-submersible rescue apparatus AS-40, two diesel submarines and a number of support ships. China rolled out the destroyer Shijiazhuang, the frigate Daqing, the submarine support ship Changdao with deep-submersible rescue vehicle Elar-7.

The drills will consist of two parts – on land and sea. Russian and Chinese marines will be training together at the Gornostay test grounds near Russia’s Far Eastern city of Vladivostok. The second part will be naval, taking place in the waters of the Sea of Japan and Okhotsk.

The first stage of the drills, aimed at furthering cooperation between the two fleets in countering security threats at sea, took place in July in the Baltic.

“This is the first visit of the Chinese fleet to Baltiysk in the history of the Russian-Chinese relations,” Russian Baltic Fleet spokesman Roman Martov said at the time.

The drills have been held regularly since 2012, and their goal is improving security in the world’s oceans, as well as strengthening cooperation between the navies of the two countries.
