		</div><p>Donald Trump has insisted that North Korea will not develop a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the United States.</p>
<p>The president-elect addressed the issue Monday evening on Twitter. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said on Sunday in his annual New Year&#8217;s address that preparations for launching an ICBM have <i>&#8220;reached the final stage&#8221;.</i> He did not explicitly say a test was imminent.</p>
<p>Mr Trump tweeted: &#8220;North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the US It won&#8217;t happen!&#8221;</p>
<p>It was unclear if Mr Trump meant he would stop North Korea or he was simply doubting the country&#8217;s capabilities. His aides did not respond to questions seeking clarification.</p>
<p>Mr Trump then berated North Korea&#8217;s most important ally, tweeting: <i>&#8220;China has been taking out massive amounts of money &#038; wealth from the US in totally one-sided trade, but won&#8217;t help with North Korea. Nice!&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Earlier on Monday President-elect Donald Trump was showing little sign of forgiving his critics as he prepares to move into the Oval Office.</p>
<p>The incoming president tweeted: <i>&#8220;Various media outlets and pundits say that I thought I was going to lose the election. Wrong&#8230;&#8221;</i></p>
<p>He continued: <i>&#8220;I thought and felt I would win big, easily over the fabled 270&#8221;</i> electoral votes.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s continued focus on his unexpected November 8 victory comes as he works behind closed doors to shape his new administration. He is set to be sworn into office in just 18 days.</p>
<p>His twitter campaign also included a complaint about the cover photo of him used in a new book released by CNN, and a suggestion that Chicago might need federal help over its rising murder rate.</p>
<p>Meanwhile incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer has defended cryptic comments by Mr Trump that he knows &#8220;things that other people don&#8217;t know&#8221; when it comes to allegations of Russian hacking.</p>
<p>Mr Spicer said Mr Trump is getting national security briefings &#8220;on a daily basis&#8221; and &#8220;there doesn&#8217;t seem to be conclusive evidence&#8221; Russians were behind the hacking of Democratic emails during the election.</p>
<p>Mr Spicer dismissed a report released by the FBI and Homeland Security Department supporting the accusations against Russia, calling it a &#8220;how-to&#8221; manual on basic cybersecurity for Democrats.</p>
