SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korea on Sunday slammed President Donald Trump\u2019s State of the Union address<\/a> and said its nuclear capabilities would \u201cdeter Trump and his lackeys from showing off on the Korean Peninsula.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address last week, Trump said that \u201cno regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need only look at the depraved character of the North Korean regime to understand the nature of the nuclear threat it could pose to America and to our allies,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, a North Korean foreign ministry official shot back at the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Trump does not get rid of his anachronistic and dogmatic way of thinking, it will only bring about the consequence of further endangering security and future of the United States,\u201d the official said, in comments carried by the North\u2019s official Korean Central News Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
