N. Korea says it never expects U.S. economic aid
SEOUL, May 27 (Yonhap) -- North Korea on Sunday fumed at U.S. reports that the country is seeking economic assistance from the United States in return for denuclearization.
The ruling Workers' Party's official newspaper Rodong Sinmun commented that Fox News TV, CBS and CNN were "as impudent as to make rubbish that if the DPRK meets the requirements of the U.S., it can get 'large-scale non-governmental economic aid.'"
"This is nonsense of hack media on the payroll of power," according to its commentary carried in an English dispatch by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
"U.S. media is still building up public opinion that the DPRK comes to the negotiating table with the U.S. in a hope to get 'economic aid,'" the report said using the initial of the North's full name, Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "We can not but make the fact clear. It is the U.S. that asked for DPRK-U.S. talks first," the North claimed.
"As far as the 'economic aid' ... is concerned, the DPRK has never expected it."
The report also said that "the world-startling dramatic change in the DPRK-U.S. ties was entirely thanks to the DPRK's efforts for peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and the world."
The newspaper commentary came amid hectic diplomacy to salvage the planned summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump after Trump alluded to canceling the meeting slated for June 12 in Singapore. Trump later said the summit would go ahead as planned.
With a sense of urgency, Kim held a summit with President Moon Jae-in at the inter-Korean truce village of Panmunjom on Saturday.
During a briefing on the results of the secretly arranged meeting, Moon said Sunday that "Chairman Kim appeared to be concerned with whether he could be confident that the U.S. will truly end animosity with the North and guarantee the security of its regime in return for denuclearization."
Any aid is to be non governmental, as in allowing businesses to invest in NK.
I’m ok with this.
Good! Hope we can live up to their "expectations."
Yeah right.
And your leader is Fred Flintstone....
“never expects U.S. economic aid “
They begged Trump to get back to negotiations and now they tell him not to bring pallets of $ to the negotiation table. If the Norks want to give Trump a stack winning cards, they would not do otherwise.
No SOUP for YOU!!!
Hahahaha!
“All the criminal extortionists have is god d**n pride. You know, devils have precious pride, too.:-)”
I’m guessing that Kim and family along with the rest of his cronies have stashed plenty of cash in Swiss acct’s to sustain themselves in style should they ever need to leave in a hurry....
When the NorK gov’t recognizes a manipulative and dishonest press, what more needs be said?
I hope everyone from NK, realize that the reporters are not negotiators... Because the reporters sure don’t.
Do you seriously think the globalist banking Nazis can freeze assets in Chinese and Russian banks? Will the US be in a good position if NK and SK unify without the US being involved? That would be one powerful country looking for a strategic ally. Look at the map. That would be Russia.
Supporting their pride costs nothing. What do the more conservative publishers and broadcasters have to lose by giving a figurative carrot? Granted, disappointment should be the response to any negative statements or actions.
Ha, ha, ha, Kim Jong-Un! You should get a job writing for late-night comedy TV.
Because if we help develop North Korea, it’s citizens will talk and tell us what a bear the dictatorship is.
“Globalist banking Nazis”, Putin troll talk, it is the Russians who have helped North Korea so much, somehow that’s not globalist? Just Western bashing, look at the map, that would be China whom NK is already tied into tightly. Wow, what hateful talk for this thread. What a bunch of garbage.
Now we wont have to borrow any money from China to give to the Norks.
Some of the gubmint run “deep state” folks in NK trying to claim they had their act together and expecting to remain in power as Capitalism takes root down the road....gonna hold on until their bloody nails break off...
