North Korea Rejects Denuclearization Talks, Asserts Irreversible Nuclear Status

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a senior official in the ruling Workers’ Party, declared that Pyongyang will not discuss denuclearization with any nation. Commenting on a US State Department claim that Donald Trump and Xi Jinping reaffirmed their commitment to denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula during a recent summit in Beijing, she dismissed the report as an “absurd fake”.
