Yonhap News Agency:
SEOUL, April 30 (Yonhap) — A senior North Korean official on Tuesday warned of “unwanted consequences” if Washington does not shift its policy on North Korea’s denuclearization within this year, deepening the nuclear standoff with the U.S.
North Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui did not elaborate on what she meant by “unwanted consequences” that she said the U.S. does not want to see.
Choe also said “North Korea remains committed to achieving denuclearization and will denuclearize in due time. But it will be possible only when the U.S. changes its current way of calculation and reestablishes its stance,” according to the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency.
Choe’s remarks come after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s interview with CBS last Wednesday. Pompeo said the U.S. would “change paths” if the denuclearization talks with the North do not succeed.
