North Korea said Sunday that it won't meet with the United States for more"sickening negotiations" unless it abandons its"hostile policy" against the North, as the two countries offered different takes on their weekend nuclear talks in Sweden.
The statement said the Stockholm talks"made us think they have no political will to improve -U.S. relations and may be abusing the bilateral relations for their own partisan interests" at home. Kim Myong Gil, the main North Korean negotiator at the Stockholm talks, said that since the first summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore in June 2018, the U.S. has been threatening his country with fresh unilateral sanctions and military exercises with South Korea.
Saturday's talks were the first between the sides since the second Trump-Kim summit in Vietnam in February collapsed due to squabbling over how much sanctions relief should be given to North Korea in return for dismantling its main nuclear complex. The two leaders held a brief, impromptu meeting at the Korean border in late June and agreed to restart diplomacy.
