Sources inside North Korea claim Kim Jong-un has stepped up preparations for war with the US without having enough food for his soldiers.
The beggar country could be tipped over the edge if a plan to cut off its oil supply goes ahead, experts warn.
Donald Trump has called on Kim’s ally China to impose even harsher sanctions on North Korea in a bid to halt its nuclear weapons programme.
But he has been warned this could send the country back to the Dark Ages.
David von Hippel, senior associate at the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability said: ”Unless China or the rest of the world exported or gifted food to [North Korea] to compensate, this would likely lead to famine.”
North Korea is a largely mountainous region that outside of the capital Pyongyang suffers from very poor standards of living and is heavily reliant on farming.
It experienced a devastating famine between 1994 and 98 and over a million people are estimated to have died.
Since the famine, most people in rural regions live isolated, humble existences despite the government propaganda boasting of nationwide prosperity.
The North Korean army is already struggling to find resources, according to reports coming out of the country.
