North Korean envoy rejects Trump overture to meet leader
GENEVA | By Stephanie Nebehay
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposal to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is a "kind of propaganda or advertisement" in his election race, a senior North Korean official said on Monday.
Trump, in a wide-ranging interview with Reuters in New York last week, said he is willing to talk to the North Korean leader to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program, proposing a major shift in U.S. policy toward the isolated nation.
"It is up to the decision of my Supreme Leader whether he decides to meet or not, but I think his (Trump's) idea or talk is nonsense," So Se Pyong, North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told Reuters on return from Pyongyang after attending the first ruling party congress in 36 years.
"It's for utilization of the presidential election, that's all. A kind of a propaganda or advertisement," he said. "This is useless, just a gesture for the presidential election."
"There is no meaning, no sincerity," So added.
As a candidate, U.S. President Barack Obama made unfulfilled campaign promises to meet the leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), he said.

P!
LOL, Problem Solved!
When did Trump formally propose to meet the NK leader? I don’t think he did that.
The NWO Commies have their orders. No fraternizing with the enemy.
Our enemies prefer to only meet with our Beta male leaders.
I don’t remember either
But this is North Korean propaganda, they say whatever makes their Dear Leader look good
Kinda like what the US media does for Obama
As a candidate, U.S. President Barack Obama made unfulfilled campaign promises to meet the leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), he said.
When did Obama formally propose to meet the NK leader?
Funny, I don’t remember hearing any thing like that
from the press. You’d think that would have been news.
Ah well, down the memory hole.
Not a problem. Trump will just appoint Dennis Rodman as his roaming ambassador.
this is just media writing hit pieces against trump to attack every argument he makes. Spin every positive into a negative
this is a good sign. They don’t want to tangle with a real leader who puts America first.
“When did Trump formally propose to meet the NK leader? I don’t think he did that.”
He didn’t.
Imagine if Trump negotiates a new relationship with the Norks even before he takes office. Would shut up everybody about his lack of foreign policy chops.
Everything about North Korea is tacky, totalitarian, or out and out creepy. Why should this choice be any different?
Ooooh, Kim is scared of The Donald. Neener, neener.
They get a little more receptive when they get their food cut off and get hungry.

Yeah. I knew that, the point is he didn’t say he wanted to or was trying to. Just that he would.
It wasn’t an “overture” on Trump’s part.
