North Korea declared that future negotiations with the United States will not lead to denuclearization, emphasizing that the geopolitical landscape has shifted since past summit meetings. According to state media KCNA, Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un and a key political figure, stated that Washington must recognize North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.
Kim Yo Jong acknowledged that her brother’s personal relationship with former U.S. President Donald Trump “is not bad,” but warned against relying on personal diplomacy to dismantle Pyongyang’s nuclear program, calling such efforts “mockery.” She stressed that any attempt to deny North Korea’s nuclear status will be firmly rejected.
The remarks highlight Pyongyang’s hardened stance since the high-profile summits between Kim and Trump in 2018 and 2019. Their first meeting in Singapore produced a pledge to pursue a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, but subsequent talks in Hanoi collapsed over disagreements on sanctions relief.
A White House official responded to the latest statement by reaffirming Trump’s commitment to his original goal of achieving a fully denuclearized North Korea. The official said the president remains open to future engagement with Kim Jong Un to advance that objective.
North Korea’s position underscores the challenges facing renewed diplomatic efforts amid evolving regional security dynamics.
