Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean dicator Kim Jong Un, blasted southern peace overtures as "a few sentimental words."

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rebuffed outreach by South Korea’s new liberal government, saying that North Korea has no interests in talks with South Korea, no matter what proposal its rival offers.

US President Trump is open to renewed talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to revive denuclearization efforts, the White House confirmed. However, Kim's sister warned against pressure to disarm, calling such efforts a “mockery” and suggesting talks depend on US acceptance of current realities.
