  "summary": "North Korea has denounced the United States for maintaining a \"hostile\" policy and vowed to respond with the toughest countermeasures. According to a statement from the North's foreign ministry, carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Washington's actions under the banner of denuclearization and human rights are \"hostile measures\".\n\nThe North Korean foreign ministry spokesperson criticized the US for pursuing these policies, saying it is pointless to expect any detente in the region given the US's persistent hostile policy towards the DPRK. The spokesperson stated that the North's policy towards the US remains unchanged, responding to its \"invariable hostile policy with the toughest stand to the last\".\n\nUS President Donald Trump has recently reached out to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, expressing hope to meet him later this year. However, North Korea remains firm in its stance, with no change in its policy towards the US, according to Yonhap News and The Korea Times.",
