‘Trump declared war on North Korea’, says Foreign Minister

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.’
