North Korea is considering suspension of denuclearization talks with the United States, Deputy Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui told reporters on Friday.

 

"We have no intention to yield to the US demands [put forward at the Hanoi summit] in any form, nor are we willing to engage in negotiations of this kind," said Choe, according to Russian state news agency TASS, which attended the press event in Pyongyang.

Choe said the North was deeply disappointed by the failure of the two sides to reach any agreements at last month's summit between Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.


She blamed the breakdown of talks on the US side, saying the American delegation was being too demanding and inflexible: [The US] "were too busy with pursuing their own political interests and had no sincere intention to achieve a result," Choe added, according to TASS.

Choe said Washington threw away a golden opportunity at the summit and warned that Kim might rethink a moratorium on missile launches and nuclear tests, the Associated Press reported.

 

"I want to make it clear that the gangster-like stand of the U.S. will eventually put the situation in danger," the AP quoted her as saying.

 

But she added: "Personal relations between the two supreme leaders are still good and the chemistry is mysteriously wonderful."
