President Donald Trump of the United States of America has revealed that North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un insulted him by calling him “old” stating that he would never call him “short and fat”.

In one of his tweets, Trump said; “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,’ when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?’ Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe someday that will happen!”

Trump also noted in another tweet that Chinese President Xi Jinping was “upping sanctions” on North Korea in response to its nuclear and missile programs and that Xi wants Pyongyang to “denuclearize.”

Two months ago, China tightened its noose on sanctions imposed on North Korea over its continued missile activities after ordering businesses owned by the pariah nation led by Kim to close by January, 2018.

China’s commerce ministry said on Thursday that companies, including joint ventures with Chinese firms, have 120 days to close from the date the UN resolution was adopted on September 11.
