North Korea denounces Trump Jerusalem decision

North Korea's Foreign Ministry denounced US President Donald Trump's Jerusalem decision on Saturday (December 9), the state-run television KRT reported.

The North Korean foreign ministry statement said Trump's decision was and insult to the international legitimacy and the global consensus on the issue and that the US should take full responsibility over the consequences of the decision.

Trump's announcement on Wednesday (December 6) has infuriated the Arab world and upset Western allies. The status of Jerusalem has been one of the biggest obstacles to a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians for generations.

Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its capital. Palestinians want the eastern part of the city as the capital of a future independent state of their own.
