Kim Kye Gwan warns comparisons to Libya or Iraq from senior American officials could scupper talks

North Korea will “reconsider” a planned summit with U.S. President Donald Trump if Washington forces the country to unilaterally abandon its nuclear weapons, the DPRK's first Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Kim Kye Gwan said on Wednesday.
