North Korea says ‘not interested’ in talks with Trump

North Korea is not interested in holding another meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, a North Korean official said on Monday, noting that previous talks were unsuccessful and emphasizing that the U.S. should drop its “hostile policy” first.

Kim Kye Gwan, a senior advisor at North Korea’s Foreign Ministry, was responding to Sunday’s tweet from Trump in which the U.S. president urged North Korea to “act quickly” and “get a deal done.” He added “see you soon,” which Kim said was indicative of another U.S.-North Korea summit.

“The U.S. only seeks to earn time, pretending it has made progress in settling the issue of the Korean peninsula,” Kim said in a statement. “As we have got nothing in return, we will no longer gift the U.S. president with something he can boast of, but get compensation for the successes that President Trump is proud of as his administrative achievements.”
