University of Illinois International Law Professor Francis Boyle told Sputnik he was deeply concerned about the danger of war breaking out on the Korean Peninsula.

"Right now, I am seriously worried that Trump is going to launch a criminal and catastrophic war against North Korea," he said.

Such a conflict would violate the UN Charter, the War Powers Clause of the US Constitution and Congress's 1973 War Powers Resolution, Boyle added.
