North Korea has accused Joe Biden of pursuing a “hostile policy” and warned America will soon “find itself in a very grave situation”.
Mr Biden had said Wednesday that his administration would deal with the threat posed by Pyongyang’s nuclear program “through diplomacy as well as stern deterrence”.on denuclearisation following the completion of a policy review, but Pyongyang said Mr Biden had “made a big blunder” and that the US would face “a very grave situation”.
“It is certain that the US chief executive made a big blunder in the light of the present-day viewpoint. Now that what the keynote of the US new DPRK policy has become clear, we will be compelled to press for corresponding measures, and with time the US will find itself in a very grave situation.”Biden takes different path to Trump
Neither would the White House follow the more stand-offish approach espoused by Barack Obama, she added.In a separate statement through KCNA Sunday, North Korea also accused the US of insulting its leadership and its anti-coronavirus measures, referring to a State Department press release on April 28.
And in a third statement issued Sunday, Kim Jong-un’s powerful sister Kim Yo Jong lashed out at South Korea over a recent anti-Pyongyang leaflet campaign by a defector group. The South Korean parliament rapidly passed a law criminalising the leaflet campaigns in December, raising concerns over freedom of speech.Kim Yo Jong blamed South Korean authorities for not stopping them. “We regard the manoeuvres committed by the human wastes in the south as a serious provocation against our state and will look into corresponding action,” she said.
At the time, analysts suggested the move may have been prompted by Mr Biden downplaying another North Korean short-range weapons test days earlier as “business as usual”.
