Kim Yo Jong says US has ‘wrong’ expectations about talks as Washington’s envoy offers to meet ‘anytime, anywhere’.
Kim Yo Jong, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, has ridiculed the United States’s hopes for an early resumption of diplomacy, saying Washington’s expectations for talks would only “plunge them into a greater disappointment”. She was responding on Tuesday to US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan, who on Sunday said he saw as an “interesting signal” in a recent speech by Kim Jong Un on preparing for both confrontation and diplomacy with the US. “A Korean proverb says: ‘In a dream, what counts most is to read it, not to have it,'” said Kim Yo Jong in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
