NK called a terror state

DONALD Trump said that he plans to declare North Korea a state sponsor of terrorism.

The president called the move long overdue and part of the US “maximum pressure campaign” against the rogue nuclear regime.

North Korea was last on the US list of state sponsors of terror in 2008, when it was removed in a bid to salvage a deal to halt its nuclear development.

The declaration is the latest escalation of hostilities between Kim Jong Un and Mr Trump, who have traded insults since Mr Trump began campaigning for president.
