Twenty-four hours of critique by tweet — on foreign policy in Iran, on Palestinians, in Pakistan and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Each one — authored by U.S. President Donald Trump.

CGTN’s Jessica Stone reports.

On the DPRK — a retaliatory taunt from Trump to Kim Jong Un and his New Year’s Day boast about having a ‘nuclear button.’ — “I too have a Nuclear Button,” tweeted Trump Tuesday evening, “but it is a much bigger & more powerful one…”

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

Seoul had no immediate response.

But when Iran’s foreign minister saw Trump tweeting his support for protests that began last week, he took to Twitter too. Referring to foreign influence on the demonstrations, Javad Zarif tweeted: “…infiltrators will not be allowed to sabotage them through violence and destruction.”

Iran's security and stability depend on its own people, who — unlike the peoples of Trumps regional "bffs”—have the right to vote and to protest. These hard-earned rights will be protected, and infiltrators will not be allowed to sabotage them through violence and destruction.

Trump’s tirade continued with a thread threatening to pull foreign aid from Palestinians, saying: “With the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?”

…peace treaty with Israel. We have taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table, but Israel, for that, would have had to pay more. But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?

And he doubled down on his vow to pull further aid from Pakistan – a country he said, the U.S. “pays billions of dollars to for nothing.”

It's not only Pakistan that we pay billions of dollars to for nothing, but also many other countries, and others. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect. They don’t even want to negotiate a long overdue…

Reaction was swift from high-level voices.

“We should not be given taunts of aid,” said Pakistani Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. “The Coalition Support Fund should not be given the name of ‘aid’ or ‘donations’. We do not need such fund.”

“I would say that Palestinian rights are not for sale and we will not succumb to blackmail,” Hanan Ashrawi, a PLO Executive Committee member said. “There are imperatives and requirements for peace and unilaterally President Trump has destroyed them.”

Asked if the American president’s tweets could cost the U.S. peace, his spokesperson said when it comes to his thoughts on the DPRK leader’s nuclear ambitions:

“I think the president is concerned about continued threats that he’s made towards the Us and others. And he won’t’ allow that without standing up for the American people and the country,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, White House Press Secretary said.

On the heels of Trump’s twitter tirade — another battle with his former chief strategist, Steve Bannon. In a new book coming out next week Bannon is quoted as calling Trump family members “treasonous” for meeting with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 election. Trump responded with a statement saying Bannon not only lost his job when he was fired over the summer, but lost his mind.
