North Korea blasted the U.S. over a recent report showing it to be by far the world's largest arms exporter, potentially fueling new tensions as supreme leader Kim Jong Un prepares to meet President Donald Trump.

A commentary published Monday by official ruling Korean Workers' Party Central Committee newspaper Rodong Sinmun highlighted the findings of a Stockholm International Peace Research Institute study earlier this month. Already leading the world in weapons sales, the U.S. reportedly increased its exports by 25 percent between the 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 periods, accounting for 34 percent of the world's sales.

"It is due to the U.S., the top class war merchant that spawns war and massacre in different parts of the world through large-scale arms sale, going against the desire of mankind for peace and stability," the commentary continued. "The warmonger is not in a position to talk about peace."

They seem really sincere about their intentions to denuclearize.
