North Korea's state-run television KRT on Sunday aired a video showing tens of thousands of people attending an anti-US rally at Kim Il Sung square in Pyongyang.

The North's official news agency KCNA said more than 100,000 people gathered for the rally on Saturday and delivered speeches supporting the recent leader Kim Jong Un's statement.

Kim Jong Un said on Friday the North will consider the "highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history" against the United States in response to US President Donald Trump's threat to destroy the North.

Trump called the North Korean leader a "madman" on Friday after Kim dubbed him a "mentally deranged US dotard." Trump also said on Twitter on Saturday North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho and leader Kim Jong Un "won't be around much longer".
