North Korea says Trump has declared war, threatens to shoot down US bombers

North Korea is threatening to shoot down U.S. bombers flying in the vicinity of the Korean Peninsula in response to President Trump’s denunciation of the regime last week.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho justified the threat on Monday by summarizing Trump’s comments at the United Nations, and his ensuing tweet that leaders who threaten the United States “won’t be around much longer” as a “declaration of war.” And Ri called on the U.N. to recognize North Korea’s right to self-defense.
