When it comes to the war in Ukraine, President Trump finds common cause with the world’s outlier states and stands against traditional U.S. allies like Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Japan and Italy.

North Korea's defence ministry said on Saturday "military provocations" by the United States and its allies were becoming more "pronounced" under the current Trump administration, according to state media.

Pyongyang blasted the U.S. "provocations," including last week's ICBM test-launch and a nuclear submarine's port call at Busan, South Korea.
