KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: Breaking news on the escalating tension with North Korea. Escalating once more. Its former -- its foreign minister accused President Trump of declaring war against the nation. Also, is now warning of counter measures. CNN's senior diplomatic correspondent, Michelle Kosinski, is joining me with details. This is just coming in, Michelle. What does this all mean?</s>MICHELLE KOSINSKI, CNN SENIOR DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENT: Lest you thought the juvenile name calling and threats of destruction on both sides between the U.S. and North Korea couldn't get any worse, now there's this. So the foreign minister just now, in New York, where he still is after the U.N. General Assembly, is responding to a tweet from President Trump over the weekend. This is before the North Korean foreign minister gave his speech at the U.N. The Trump tweet said, "Just heard foreign minister of North Korea speak at the U.N. If he echoes thoughts of little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer." Now the foreign minister is calling that tweet a declaration of war and saying this now gives North Korea the right basically to shoot down U.S. bombers, even if they are outside the air space of North Korea. He ended his statement by saying, "The question of who won't be around much longer will be answered then." So, obviously, we've been seeing this escalation in rhetoric. This according to the North Korean foreign minister is a declaration of war based on the latest tweet -- Kate?</s>BOLDUAN: From "fire and fury" and "Rocket Man" and now "declaration of war," what could be next? Michelle Kosinski, thanks so much. Watching this closely. Coming up for us, over to Capitol Hill. The Republican health care plan Hail Mary is in serious jeopardy right now. There are two firm nos on the Republican side and, obviously, as we well know, the math is tight. There's also a handful of Republicans still on the fence. What is going to decide this once and for all? The clock is running out.
