North Korea's Kim says past diplomacy only confirmed US hostility

Raw Story  

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Pyongyang's past diplomacy with Washington only confirmed its "unchanging" hostility towards his country, state media said Friday, months ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House. While in office, former US president Trump met with Kim three times, but Washington failed to make much progress on efforts to denuclearise North Korea. Instead, Pyongyang learned of Washington's "thorough stance of power and an unchanging, invasive, and hostile policy toward North Korea", Kim added. In a commentary released that month, North Korea said while it was true Trump tried to reflect the "special personal relations" between the heads of states, he "did not bring about any substantial positive change".
