North Korea accuses US for pressing international sanctions - Reuters
|A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman accused the US on pressing for international sanctions on the North, in a statement on state-run KCNA late-Thursday, Reuters reports.
The spokesman said that the progress on denuclearization promises could not be expected if Washington continues to follow an “outdated acting script.”
North Korea was still willing to implement a broad agreement made at the landmark June 12 summit in Singapore between the US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he added.
North Korea’s Foreign Ministry noted: it had stopped testing missiles, conducted nuclear tests and dismantled “the nuclear test ground,” yet the United States still insisted on “denuclearisation first.” “However, the U.S. responded to our expectation by inciting international sanctions and pressure against the DPRK.”
