On Monday, North Korea harshly condemned the United States for maintaining a "hostile" policy towards the country, vowing to respond with the "toughest" countermeasures. A spokesperson from North Korea's foreign ministry criticized Washington for pursuing "hostile" measures under the guise of denuclearization and human rights. The official stated in a statement released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) that it was futile to expect any detente in the region due to the grave situation where the U.S. persistent hostile policy towards the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) is becoming more dangerous.
Despite recent outreach from U.S. President Donald Trump to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, expressing hope to meet in the coming months, the DPRK reiterated its stance that it will respond with the toughest measures to its invariable hostile policies.
