North Korea's foreign minister accuses Trump of declaring war

North Korea's foreign minister has accused US President Donald Trump of declaring war on his country and said Pyongyang had the right to shoot down US bombers. Ri Yong-ho said this could apply even if the warplanes were not in North Korea's airspace. Ri told reporters after addressing the UN General Assembly that the whole world should clearly remember it was the US who first declared war on North Korea.

Huckabee Sanders reacting on it said US has not declared any war on North Korea and the suggestion of that is absurd. The Pentagon warned Pyongyang to stop provocations. 

Meanwhile, a UN spokesman said such fiery talk could lead to fatal misunderstandings. Ri's comments were a response to Mr Trump's tweet that the North Korean leadership would not be around much longer if they continued their rhetoric.
