Kim Jong Un’s sister calls US push for its denuclearization ‘anachronistic dream’

Article excerpt

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister and senior official of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, dismissed American pressure to denuclearize as an "anachronistic dream," declaring that "no one will be bound by the US unilateral rhetoric." Her comments signal Pyongyang's firm rejection of denuclearization talks and suggest the regime views the Biden administration's diplomatic overtures as outdated Cold War posturing. The rebuke underscores the deep impasse between Washington and North Korea over the nuclear weapons program that has defined US-Korea relations for decades.
