N. Korea accuses US of having “hostile policy” toward Pyongyang
(MENAFN) North Korea denounced the United States on Thursday for pursuing a “hostile policy” and pledged to take “proper measures” following a new round of sanctions from Washington.
Kim Un Chol, the vice foreign minister responsible for US affairs, stated that the recent sanctions represent the fifth such action since the current US administration assumed office, according to reports.
"The U.S. has fully betrayed again its wicked nature to be hostile towards the DPRK till the end," Kim said, using North Korea’s official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
He added that the US should not expect its usual tactics— “full of pressure, appeasement, threat and blackmail”—to succeed in influencing Pyongyang.
The statement came after the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions Tuesday on eight individuals and two organizations linked to money laundering from “illicit schemes” carried out by North Korea, including cybercrime and the exploitation of overseas IT workers.
Kim asserted that these measures would not alter North Korea’s stance or strategy toward the United States. "The U.S. needs to pay attention to the fact that there is no possibility for it to change the present strategic situation between the DPRK and the U.S. in its favor, no matter how desperately it may mobilize all its sanctions," he said.
