North Korea has condemned the U.S. for sending “weird questionnaires” to U.N. and international organizations asking about potential affiliations with communist or anti-American groups, labeling it as an attempt to impose the “America First” policy on global institutions.

In a statement released Friday by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea's permanent representative to the U.N. in Geneva, Jo Chol Su, condemned the inquiries as part of U.S. efforts to “use the international body as a tool for implementing its strategy for hegemony.”
