North Korea is ‘running out of patience’ with US and warns of ‘exchange of fire at any moment’
NORTH Korea says it's running out of patience with the United States over “hostile” policies and unilateral disarmament demands.
The hermit kingdom warned that good terms between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un personally wouldn't be enough to prevent a nuclear exchange "at any moment".
In a statement published by Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), senior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol said there has been no substantial progress in relations.
He added that despite warm ties between Kim and The Donald the persisting hostility means "there could be the exchange of fire at any moment."
Kim Yong Chol said the Trump administration would be "seriously mistaken" if it ignores an end-of-year deadline set by Kim Jong Un to propose terms for a deal to salvage nuclear negotiations.
Veteran diplomat Kim Kye Gwan criticised U.S. officials for maintaining "Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice" and urged the United States to act "wisely" through the end of the year on Thursday.
