North Korea hits out at 'old lunatic Trump' for comments on death of student

Trump tweeted: "Otto was tortured beyond belief by North Korea".

North Korea accused the Trump administration of exploiting the death of a US student who died soon after being released from detention in the Asian nation.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency quoted a foreign ministry spokesman today as criticising the White House for using the death of Otto Warmbier for propaganda purposes against North Korea.
