This is now the second time that North Korean state media has directly stated that Pompeo is misrepresenting North Korea’s position on denuclearization, making it clear that North Korea is not offering to disarm.

“The meaning is that the U.S. should get rid of the root cause that pushed us into a nuclear state and obstacles on the way to denuclearization by its own hands; otherwise no one can predict how the situation on the Korean peninsula will turn out.”

KCNA said the same thing in December. 👇
“When we talk about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, it means the removal of all sources of nuclear threat, not only from the South and North but also from areas neighboring the Korean Peninsula.”

Of course, this was North Korea’s position from the start, which I tried to point out more than a year ago.
“It imposes obligations on the United States, too — even if Americans don’t want to hear that part.”
