US Orders Americans To Leave North Korea

The US has ordered all US passport holders to leave North Korea by September 1.

Any US citizens wanting to travel to North Korea will now have to obtain special validation.

And they will only be granted in “limited circumstances”, US authorities said.

This comes as US relations with North Korea have deteriorated since the election of Donald Trump.

Tensions between the two countries have been growing and the US recently tested its ballistic missile intercept system in Alaska.

In response leader Kim Jong-un warned the US it would not be safe from destruction if it tries to attack.

One Republican said Donald Trump has told him there will be a war with North Korea if the rogue nation does not end its missile programme.
