Kim Jong-Un boasts North Korea has ‘completed its nuclear force’ with the whole US in range – and he has the launch button on his desk

KIM Jong-Un sent Donald Trump a chilling New Year message today  - warning North Korea's nuclear arsenal is complete and the launch button is always within reach on his desk.

The tyrant taunted the American president, who he said cannot attack North Korea as the country's nukes can now reach anywhere in the US.

Kim used his New Year address - broadcast on state television - to ratchet up tensions with the West days after the UN Security Council imposed new sanctions restricting oil sales.

He claimed the hermit state has achieved the historic feat of "completing" its nuclear forces in 2017 after a series of warhead detonations and ballistic missile launches.

Kim warned his nuclear arsenal is "reality, not a threat" and added he has a "nuclear button" on his desk.

He said: "The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons, and the nuclear button is always on my table."

The fresh UN sanctions were passed in response to Kim's ballistic missile tests in the Sea of Japan.

Russia and China have both been accused of secretly supplying oil to North Korea in defiance of international agreements.

The claims come after Russia offered to mediate between the US and North Korea as the Kremlin said it wanted ";to clear the way for de-escalation".

Russia warned war between North Korea and the US would be worse than anything seen before in human history.
