US President Donald Trump blast both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran, with a rare comment saying that Iran has "power over the DPRK."
More military movements around the DPRK are happening amid the tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
"But [we] must remember Trump is scheduled to be here in Asia in just a few weeks - five-country trip with Japan, South Korea, China likely first in that order. Don't think Trump would want to cancel his trip because of conflict on or around Korea," said Rafael Wober, senior video journalist with Associated Press based in Pyongyang.
Wober added that the US, however, will keep up pressure of military movements on the DPRK in coming weeks before and during Trump’s Asia trip in the first half of November.
"Pyongyang likely will use any US reversal on Iran as a negotiating point, or in its rhetoric to build up its position, but it's not something DPRK can take action about," said Rafael Wober.
