North Korea: Trump Has Declared War on Us
Local Editor
North Korea threatened to shoot down US bombers in international airspace, noting that, with a weekend tweet, Donald Trump had declared war.
He referred in particular to Trump's tweet on Sunday that warned that the regime's leaders "won't be around much longer".
In his first address to the UN last Tuesday, Trump also warned that if the US and its allies were attacked, he would "totally destroy" North Korea.
Ri further stated that the UN and the international community had hoped that the war of words between the two countries would not turn into "real action".
"However, last weekend Trump claimed that our leadership won't be around much longer, and hence at last he declared war on our country," Ri said, speaking to journalists through an interpreter outside the UN general assembly in New York.
"Given the fact that this came from someone who holds the seat of the US presidency, this is clearly a declaration of war."
Ri added: "Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make counter-measures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not yet inside the airspace border of our country.
"The question of who won't be around much longer will be answered then.
The US denied it had declared war but warned it had military options if North Korea does take further "provocative" actions.
