North Korea Adamant
“As a person involved in the U.S. affairs, I cannot suppress my surprise at such ignorant and stupid remarks gushing out from the mouth of the U.S. vice-president,” Choe said.
It was well-known that Kim Jong-un wasn’t one to trifle with; however that didn’t seem to bother Trump.
Trump said that Kim wasn’t living up to the requirements needed for the meeting to take place.
“If he is Vice-President of ‘single superpower’ as is in name, it will be proper for him to know even a little bit about the current state of global affairs and to sense to a certain degree the trends in dialogue and the climate of détente,” Choe said.
North Korea made it clear that they won’t be begging the U.S. to meet with them, the choice was theirs.
“We will neither beg the U.S. for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us,” she said. “Whether the U.S. will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us at nuclear-to-nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision. . . of the U.S.”
