North Korea Says “Trump Declared War”, Threatens To Shoot Down US Jets<\/a><\/h3>\n

Having raged at President Trump’s “suicide mission” on Saturday,<\/a> North Korea’s foreign minister Ri Yong Ho called for an impromptu press conference this morning following President Trump’s extended travel ban, in which the diplomat said that Trump\u2019s recent tweet that DPRK’s leadership would not be around much longer amounted to “a declaration of war” <\/strong>and added that North Korea has “every right to take countermeasures against the United States,\u00a0 including to shoot down American jets outside the DPRK’s airspace”<\/strong> as part of its right to self-defense under the United Nations charter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UN Charter acknowledges member states\u2019 right of self-defense,\u201d Ri said outside a hotel near the UN headquarters on Monday. \u201cAs the United States has declared a war, even though its strategic bombers don\u2019t cross our border, we will come to own all rights to respond for self-defense including shooting down its planes at any time.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country<\/strong>,\u201d Ri added as he was leaving the United Nations after a week of General Assembly meetings in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, <\/strong>including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to Mr. Trump\u2019s assertion that the North Korean leadership may not \u201cbe around much longer,\u201d Mr. Ri said that the question of \u201cwho would be around much longer will be answered\u201d by North Korea.<\/p>\n
