Donald trump, President of the USA, and Kim Jong Un, dictator of North Korea, have been having a war of words.
Kim Jong Un sent a tweet to Donald Trump saying, “I have a nuclear button that is on my desk at all times” and Donald Trump responded, “I too have a nuclear button on my desk as well but my one is bigger and actually works.”
Many people think that this is childish behavior from these two powerful leaders and that they should not be in charge any more. Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have been threatening each other for as long as Trump has been president (about one year). Jong Un has been firing test nuclear missiles into the Pacific Ocean – some over Japan.
As well as this being a war of words this is also an arms race. As soon as one country has a larger and more powerful nuclear missile the other country feels threatened so they make one even bigger and better.
