Almaty. September 26. Silkroadnews – The authorities of the DPRK view the statements by the U.S. President Donald Trump as a declaration of war and reserve the right to take retaliatory measures, including shooting down the U.S. strategic bombers in the region, the Tajik Telegraph Agency (TajikTA) reports on Tuesday with reference to the recent saying by the Foreign Minister of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Ri Yong-ho.
“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 minister said having stressed that Pyongyang considers “all options for action” against the United States. With this Ri Yong-ho expressed the hope that the U.S. would not pass from words to the deeds.
In his speech on Friday the DPRK leader Kim Jong-un compared the words by the U.S. president about the possibility of the complete destruction of North Korea with the declaration of war to Pyongyang. Kim Jong-un noted, such a rhetoric only confirms the correctness of the course the North Korea has chosen for the nuclear missile program development, and promised the U.S. president will pay a high price for his treats.
A day later, the Foreign Minister of the North Korea, Ri Yong-ho, speaking at the General Assembly, devoted his speech to the U.S. President Donald Trump, who had earlier said about the North Korean leader that he is a “Rocket Man on suicide mission for himself”. In response, Ri Young-ho described the American president as a “mentally deranged person full of megalomania,” and added, saying like this Trump had made a missile attack on the US mainland more inevitable.
