North Korea has “no intention” of yielding to present U.S. demands: vice FM

DPRK leader Kim Jong Un to make an announcement on the issue "soon," Choe Son Hui says

North Korea has “no intention” to meet U.S. demands for further concessions on the nuclear program, the country’s deputy foreign minister Choe Son Hui told a press conference in Pyongyang on Friday morning.

“We have no intention to make concessions to the U.S. requirements [put forward at the Hanoi summit] in any form, much less the desire to conduct such negotiations," Choe said in a meeting with foreign ambassadors and press, according to comments carried by Russia’s TASS News Agency, warning that the U.S. risked throwing away "a golden opportunity this time."
