US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un in an address to South Korea's parliament.
"Do not underestimate us. Do not try us," he said, while also condemning the "dark fantasy" of life in the North.
Mr Trump addressed Mr Kim directly in his speech, saying "the weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer" but were putting him "in grave danger".
The US leader is on a two-day visit to South Korea as part of an Asian tour.
Elsewhere in his speech, he said that while the North may have interpreted past restraint as weakness, there was now a different US administration in place.
Mr Trump also called on the rest of the world - while singling out China and Russia in particular - to exert pressure on Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons.
"The world cannot tolerate the menace of a rogue regime that threatens it with nuclear devastation. All responsible nations must join forces to isolate the brutal regime of North Korea, to deny it any form of support, supply, or acceptance," he said.
