美國(guó)否認(rèn)向朝鮮宣戰(zhàn)

白宮新聞發(fā)言人桑德斯星期一告訴記者說(shuō)，“我們并沒(méi)有對(duì)朝鮮宣戰(zhàn)，坦率講，這種說(shuō)法簡(jiǎn)直荒謬。”

就在幾個(gè)小時(shí)前，朝鮮外務(wù)相李勇浩在聯(lián)合國(guó)總部附近提到美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普的推特時(shí)，表述了開(kāi)戰(zhàn)的說(shuō)法。川普此前在推特上評(píng)論說(shuō)，如果朝鮮把威脅落實(shí)在行動(dòng)上的話，朝鮮政權(quán)就“不會(huì)再存在很久了”。

李勇浩告訴記者說(shuō)：“鑒于這番話出自美國(guó)總統(tǒng)之口，這明顯是在宣戰(zhàn)。”

李勇浩補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，聯(lián)合國(guó)和全世界都要清楚地記住，是美國(guó)先對(duì)我們宣戰(zhàn)的。

李勇浩警告說(shuō)，朝鮮可能會(huì)擊落美國(guó)的戰(zhàn)略轟炸機(jī)，即便它們沒(méi)有進(jìn)入朝鮮領(lǐng)空。據(jù)韓國(guó)聯(lián)合通訊社星期二的報(bào)道，韓國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)下屬的情報(bào)委員會(huì)說(shuō)，發(fā)現(xiàn)平壤調(diào)整了東海岸戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的位置，加強(qiáng)了防御能力。

美國(guó)國(guó)家安全顧問(wèn)麥克馬斯特在星期一的一次安全會(huì)議上說(shuō)，美國(guó)希望避免與朝鮮的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，“但是我們不能無(wú)視這種可能性。”

The United States says it is not at war with Pyongyang.

"We've not declared war on North Korea," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters on Monday. “Frankly, the suggestion is absurd.”

Hours earlier, near United Nations headquarters, the North Korean foreign minister made that precise suggestion, referring to President Donald Trump's comment on Twitter that Pyongyang's regime “won't be around much longer” if the North carry out its threats.

Speaking to reporters, Ri Yong Ho said, “given the fact that this comes from someone who is currently holding the seat of United States presidency, this is clearly a declaration of war."

The foreign minister added that the United Nations and the whole world should clearly remember that it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country."

Ri warned that his country might shoot down U.S. strategic bombers, even if they are not in North Korean airspace. According to South Korea's Yonhap news agency Tuesday, Lee Cheol-woo, the chief of the National Assembly's intelligence committee, said that Pyongyang was spotted readjusting the position of its warplanes and boosting its defensive capabilities along its east coast.

Speaking at a security conference on Monday, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster said the United States hopes to avoid war with North Korea “but what we can't do is discount that possibility.”
