Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe on Thursday mocked US president, Donald Trump in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
He referred to the US president as the “Giant Gold Goliath” following Mr. Trumps threat to destroy North Korea couple of of days ago.
The 93-year-old leader of Zimbabwe said “Some of us were embarrassed, if not frightened, by what appeared to be the return of the biblical Giant Gold Goliath.”
“Are we having a return of Goliath to our midst, who threatens the extinction of other countries?” he asked, triggering applause in the hall as two junior US diplomats listened expressionless.
“And may I say to the United States president, Mr Trump, please blow your trumpet — blow your trumpet in a musical way towards the values of unity, peace, cooperation, togetherness, dialogue, which we have always stood for and which are well-writ in our very sacred document, the Charter of the United Nations.”
Mr. Mugabe called for reforms and cooperation “in order to halt the inexorable march towards the destruction of that upon which our own existence depends.”
