北, 美국가비상사태•대북제재 1년 연장에 비난... "대북 적대행위 노골화"
North Korea's foreign ministry lashed out at the U.S. for continuing what it calls "hostile policies" despite Kim and Trump's promise to improve relations.
In a statement on Wednesday, Pyeongyang was referring to America's recent decision to extend sanctions it imposed on the regime by another year.
The North also brought up Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent remark that over 80 percent of North Korea's economy is subject to sanctions.
The communist state vowed to never succumb to pressure and to go ahead with a show of force if Washington tries to trample on its sovereignty.
But once again, Pyeongyang targeted its criticisms to the top diplomat only not Trump.
It emphasized... improving relations and denuclearization will be difficult if Washington keeps hostile policymakers like Pompeo.
