North Korean foreign ministry slams U.S. sanctions extension, spins Pompeo remarks

The North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) released a statement Wednesday criticizing last week’s one-year extension by the U.S. President of a number of sanctions measures against Pyongyang.

Following positive promotion by both countries’ leaders in recent days of their latest exchange of personal letters, the new MFA statement highlights leader-level diplomacy while casting doubt on the intentions of others in the U.S. government.
