Kim Jong-un’s Foreign Minister has said President Donald Trump has declared war on North Korea.
Ri Yong-ho insisted all options are on the table for Pyongyang and that his nation reserves the right to take countermeasures, including shooting down US strategic bombers even if they are not in the country’s air space.
The official, talking to reporters in New York, said: ‘The whole world should clearly remember it was the US who first declared war on our country.
‘Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country.’

Kim Jong-un’s Foreign Minister has said President Donald Trump has declared war on North Korea
Amid bitter wrangling between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, US bombers and jet fighters flew off the North Korean coast on Saturday in a show of force.
In response, the dictator released a propaganda video depicting North Korean missiles blowing up US aircraft carrier and a plane in response to Donald Trump’s perceived aggression.
The clip was released on Sunday by the state-run DPRK Today and shows the USS Carl Vinson going up in flames after a Pukguksong missile is launched.
Korea’s video brands the American President a ‘mad man’ and states any attack on the country would see US forces ‘head to the grave’.
