Speaking in front of lawmakers in the South Korean National Assembly on Wednesday, President Trump gave North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a warning about the nuclear weapons he's acquiring, saying they are "not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger."
Trump called on world leaders to "isolate the brutal regime of North Korea," as they "cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that threatens with nuclear devastation." A lengthy portion of his speech was dedicated to detailing what life is like in North Korea and South Korea, and he also touted his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and the South Korean golfers who visit. Before his speech, Trump planned on visiting the demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea, but couldn't fly there due to bad weather.
