North Korea ambassador to the United Nations, Ja Song Nam, left the room before U.S. President Donald Trump arrived to speak as the U.N. general assembly.
The North Korean mission to the U.N. admitted it “Boycotted” the speech, leaving only a junior diplomat as a representative in the assembly chambers.
Ja is the permanent North Korean representative to the U.N., beginning his service on Feb. 28, 2014.
Meanwhile, Trump seemed to be unfazed by the walk out. Loud murmurs filled the green-marbled U.N. general assembly hall when He issued his sternest warning yet to North Korea, threatening it of an “unthinkable loss of human life” by pursuing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
In his first appearance at the annual gathering of world leaders, the President used a 41-minute speech to take aim also at Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional influence, Venezuela’s collapsing democracy and the threat of Islamist extremists.
