Seul, South Korea – North Korea warned to Secretary of State Frame lonely to the Trump administration.
North Korea’s comments with nuclear weapons are the last indication that he is not open to negotiations about his non -sanctioned weapons programs, even when President Donald Trump says he would like to resume meetings in person with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“The words and hostile facts of the person who is in charge of the foreign policy of the United States served as the occasion to confirm once again the hostile policy of the United States towards the RPDC that remains unchanged,” said a ministry spokesman of foreign affairs in a statement carried out by the state media, referring to the official name of the country, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
“The rude and non -sensitive comments of Rubio only show the wrong vision of the new US administration in the RPDC directly and will never help promote the interests of the United States as wishes,” the statement continued.
Rubio made the comment of the “Rogue state” in an interview of the media, said the statement of North Korea, without specifying which. But he was probably referring to Rubio’s interview on Thursday with Siriusxm, Megyn Kelly presenter, during which he described North Korea and Iran as dishonest states.
Although it is not unusual for US officials to speak of North Korea in those terms, Trump raised his eyebrows last month when he referred to North Korea as a “nuclear energy”, a phrase that US officials have refrained from using during A long time, since it could indicate the recognition of the recognition of North Korea as a state of nuclear weapons.
Trump, who met with Kim three times during his first term, has talked enthusiastically about his relations with the North Korean leader, calling him an “intelligent type” and saying that he intends to communicate with him again.
North Korea has not responded to Trump’s comments, but Kim’s weapons tests and confrontation rhetoric show no signs of deceleration.
