The reaction from the US President came a day after North Korea said it was ready to defend itself by shooting down US bombers. North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho had accused Trump of declaring war against his country. "We are totally prepared for the second (military) option. Not a preferred option, but if we take that option, it will be devastating -- I can tell you that -- devastating for North Korea," Trump said.
