The Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North’s ruling party, reported that North Korea does not believe that Washington will ever leave Pyongyang in peace, adding that Pyongyang will make efforts to find ways to incapacitate such sanctions, rather than waiting for their abolishment.
Kim Jong Un on Friday vowed to continue North Korea’s nuclear program and to introduce a “new strategic weapon”, after his year-end deadline for the US to make some concessions passed without any sign of progress.
