Donald Trump deserves the death penalty for insulting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the country's state media has said.

An editorial in the ruling party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, called the US President a "hideous criminal" for urging the five Asian countries he visited last week to maximise pressure on North Korea to halt its growing nuclear programme.

The paper also called Mr Trump a "coward" for cancelling a visit to the inter-Korean border.
"The worst crime for which he can never be pardoned is that he dared [to] malignantly hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership," the editorial said.
