Pyongyang has ‘no interest’ in Trump’s cut to SK-US military drills, says Kim Yo-jong

Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, declared on Wednesday that Pyongyang holds "no interest" in US President Donald Trump's decision to reduce the joint US-South Korean military exercises. In a statement released by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, Kim expressed her ignorance of reports suggesting communication between Kim Jong-un and President Trump.

Kim emphasized that the reduction of the scale and duration of the drills does not signify a change in the nature of the provocative and offensive military drills. She emphasized that the joint military drills between the US and South Korea continue and are viewed as an expression of hostility towards North Korea. Regarding reports of communication between North and US leaders, Kim claimed she was unaware and possibly the only one who does not know this piece of foreign policy news.
