The President lashed out at Kim in a heated rant following the tyrants successful ICBM test this week.

North Koreas missile launch saw their dreaded ICBM fly into the Sea of Japan, after being in the air for more than half an hour.

And Trump was quick to hit back with his own massive military exercises in South Korea as a show of force to the rotund ruler.

Tensions on the Korean peninsular have reached an all time high as US and South Korean forces launched a drill which saw them fire off missiles in response to Kim Jong-un's successful test of an ICBM

"I have some pretty severe things that we're thinking about, Trump said in a statement on Thursday.

That doesn't mean we're going to do them. I don't draw red lines.

He added the North is "behaving in a very, very dangerous manner and something will have to be done about it."

Serious concerns have been raised by the international community about North Koreas missile programme.

It is believed Kim's new missile could obliterate a major US city, with an estimated range of around 6,700 km (4,160 miles).

Since 2008, photographer Eric Lafforgue ventured to North Korea six times. Thanks to digital memory cards, he was able to save photos that was forbidden to take inside the segregated state

A US Defence Department spokesman, Captain Jeff Davis, said the US had not seen a missile like the tubby tyrant's latest deadly ICBM.

While Commander of US forces in Korea, Gen Vincent K Brooks, said: "As the combined live fire demonstrated, we may make resolute decisions any time, if the alliance commanders-in-chief order it.

"Whoever thinks differently is making a serious misjudgement."
