However, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders insisted at a news briefing on Monday that no declaration had been made.
“We’ve not declared war on North Korea, and frankly the suggestion of that is absurd,” she said.
On Saturday, Trump said that North Korea "won't be around much longer" if it continues to threaten the United States.
