North Korea has become the latest nation to wade into the row over Syria.
The communist state, which has provided arms to Bashar al-Assad, branded Donald Trump’s missile strike on a Syrian airbase ‘an unforgivable act of aggression’.
Vindicating its recent missile testing programme, the foreign ministry said: ‘The reality of today proves our decision to strengthen our military power to stand against force with force was the right choice a million times over.’
Diplomatically isolated North Korea considers Syria a key ally.
Before the US strikes Leader Kim Jong Un and Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad exchanged messages of warm wishes and pledges of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
Al-Assad thanked Kim for recognising the Syrian struggle to ‘meet such challenges as sinister actions of the world’s terrorists and encouraging Syria to successfully weather the crisis without fail.’
President Trump ordered the attack on a Syrian airbase after a gas attack by al-Assad’s government killed 87 people in a rebel-held territory.
The US strikes came as Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in Florida to press the leader of North Korea’s sole diplomatic ally to do more to curb Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions.
