Kim Jong-un says Trump is 'bluffing' with his threats of taking military action against North Korea

US President Trump called an emergency July 4 meeting to formulate a 'measured response' to the North's first intercontinental ballistic missile test, amid fears it could reach as far as Alaska.

Kim's spokespeople said the despotic leader was 'unfazed' over Trump's threats and branded the military drills the US military is currently undergoing in Australia as a 'show of force'. 'The US is crying out for mounting a military attack on the DPRK,' they told state-censored newspaper Rodong Sinmun, adding the missile test was an act of 'self defence'.

They went on: 'This is just a ridiculous bluffing of those taken aback by the invincible might of the DPRK... The DPRK remains unfazed by the desperate moves of the US to stifle it.' The US is currently undergoing a military exercise with Australia in north Queensland, in what is the largest joint exercise by the Australian Defence Force and the American military.

'It is a manifestation of stupidity that the US works hard to check the victorious advance of the service personnel and people of the DPRK,' Kim's henchmen said of the drills.
