North Korea calls on US to immediately drop sanctions

The government of North Korea led by Kim Jong-Un has called on the Donald Trump-led US government to immediately drop sanctions against Pyongyang in light of its continued denuclearisation.

That much information was revealed by North Korea’s state media which called on the United States to immediately drop its sanctions against the communist country, accusing Washington of “acting opposite” to its plans of improving ties.

The report also added that Pyongyang has shown good faith by stopping its nuclear tests and handing over the remains of American soldiers killed in the 1950-1953 Korean War last week.

“There have been outrageous arguments coming out of the US State Department that it won’t ease sanctions until a denuclearisation is completed, and reinforcing sanctions is a way to raise its negotiating power,” the state-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun said in an editorial on Monday.

“How could the sanctions, which were a stick the US administration had brandished as part of its hostile policy against us, promote the two countries’ amity?” it added.
