1 North Korea

North Korea annouced that the US would make a mistake if they continue to use the sanctions against the DPRK — Interfax reports while citing South Korean news agency Renhap. The North Korean Foreign Minister, Lee Yong Ho, warned Washington that if the US continue to carry out such hostile policy toward Pyongyang — North Korea will continue to be »the biggest threat» to the US. He noted that the DPRK is ready for both a dialogue, and a confrontation with the US. He also criticized the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo by saying that he “casts a shadow” on the US-North Korean negotiation process because he is more interested in satisfying his personal political ambitions than the American foreign policy. Recently Pyongyang announced that the DPRK isn’t interested in a dialogue as long as the US and South Korea are still using military threats against the DPRK. The denuclearization talks between the US and the DPRK were frozen after the disruption of the February summit in Hanoi.
