President Trump early Sunday characterized North Korea's actions as "hostile and dangerous to the United States" after Pyongyang's latest test of a nuclear weapon.

"North Korea has conducted a major Nuclear Test," he tweeted.

"Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States," he added.

"North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success."

UPDATE:

Trump targets S. Korea: 'Their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work'

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 09/03/17 08:13 AM EDT

President Trump targeted South Korea just hours after North Korea's latest nuclear test, saying that "talk of appeasement" with Pyongyang will not work.

"South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!" Trump tweeted Sunday.

South Korea's president on Sunday called for the "strongest possible" response to North Korea's latest test. Moon Jae-in also said he wants the United Nations Security Council sanctions to "completely isolate" Pyongyang.

North Korean state television said earlier that a test of a miniaturized hydrogen bomb that could fit in an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was a "perfect success."

He is unhinged and likely to use this to boost his ratings, with no concern for the consequences. I can't wait for the "Just launched massive nuclear strike. Biggest world has seen Beautiful" tweet
