President Donald Trump has reacted to what he is calling “a major nuclear test” by North Korea, branding the North “a rogue nation” whose “words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous” to the United States.

Trump’s remarks came after Pyongyang’s announcement of a “perfect success” with its sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron called for tougher EU sanctions against North Korea, saying Pyongyang has “reached a new dimension of provocation” with its latest nuclear test.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Sunday to “appropriately deal with” the latest nuclear test by North Korea, state news agency Xinhua said.

Boris Johnson, UK’s foreign minister, said North Korea’s latest nuclear test could represent a new order of threat.

Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), called North Korea’s sixth nuclear test since 2006 “an extremely regrettable act”.
