Preoccupied with its troops in Russia, North Korea unlikely to embrace Trump’s overture soon

Associated Press  

SEOUL, South Korea — In its first direct criticism of the Trump administration, North Korea lashed out at U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for calling it a “rogue” state and warned Monday that such “coarse and nonsensical remarks” will never contribute to U.S. interests. The negotiations over North Korea’s nuclear program eventually fell apart, but Trump’s return spawned speculation that a fresh round of talks could begin soon. “You would say that although I developed a pretty good relationship with him but he’s a tough cookie.” During a Fox News interview broadcast on Jan. 23, Trump called Kim “a smart guy” and “not a religious zealot.” Asked whether he will reach out to Kim again, Trump replied, “I will, yeah.” North Korea keeps up its hostility against the U.S. North Korea hasn’t directly responded to Trump’s overture but has pressed ahead with its weapons testing activities and bellicose rhetoric against the U.S. “Kim personally suffered huge humiliation due to a no-deal in Hanoi,” said Kwak Gil Sup, head of One Korea Centre, a website specializing in North Korean affairs. It likely referred to Rubio’s appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Jan. 30, in which he called North Korea and Iran “rogue states” while addressing foreign policy challenges.
