WAR OF THE EGOS: TRUMP ESCALATES TENSIONS WITH NORTH KOREA
Corbyn calls for calm and urges countries to get ‘back from the brink’ of threatening nuclear war
LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn called on the US and North Korea to “calm down” yesterday as confrontation between the nuclear-armed states loomed.
Mr Corbyn urged the two countries to come “back from the brink” after US President Donald Trump ramped up the brinkmanship on Twitter yesterday, claiming that Washington was ready for war if North Korean leader Kim Jong Un went through with a multiple missile test.
Pyongyang said it was drawing up plans to fire four intermediate-range missiles over Japan and into waters around the US Pacific island territory of Guam.
