North Koreas foreign minister on Monday asserted that the pariah state has the right to defend itself by shooting down U.S. planes, even if they are not in the countrys airspace.
Ri Yong Ho, speaking to reporters at a hotel across the street from the United Nations, said President Trumps comments at the General Assembly last week constituted a declaration of war.
The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country, he said. 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.
Ris remarks were the most direct and threatening so far since Trump gave a combative address to the General Assembly last week in which he threatened to totally destroy North Korea.
