North Korean state media reported on U.S. President Donald Trump’s election win and inauguration for the first time on Wednesday morning, after Trump broke precedent to call the DPRK a nuclear power just hours after taking office.
The Rodong Sinmun reported the news in a two-line article on the last page of the newspaper headlined “Donald Trump Inaugurated as U.S. President.” It said he was “elected as the 47th President of the United States in the election held last November, and the inauguration ceremony took place on the 20th local time in Washington.”
