| Speaking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, Mrs Clinton said she had watched parts of Mr Trump’s address to the General Assembly and said she thought it was “very dark, dangerous,” and “not the kind of message that the leader of the greatest nation in the world should be delivering”. | |
| “You are both required to stand up for the values of what we believe in – democracy and opportunity – as a way to demonstrate clearly the United States remains the beacon that we want it to be,” she told the host, adding that even dangerous situations such as that of North Korea should be led with diplomacy. | |
| She condemned Mr Trump calling North Korea’s Kim Jong-un “Rocket man”, adding that she had hoped the president would have called on the nations to work with the United States to try and end the threat posed by the leader, and said “clearly that we will not tolerate any attacks on our friends or ourselves”. | |
