To the hostile signals that the United States continuously sends, we do not know how to respond otherwise."She also criticized the joint military exercises conducted by the United States and South Korea and opposed Washington's continued demand for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. She also condemned the U.S. State Department report on trafficking in persons that included North Korea.Why didn't Kim Yo Jong want to meet Trump?Kim Yo Jong dismissed the possibility of a meeting with the U.S. president because, according to her, North Korea had no interest in having a conversation with Washington.According to her statement, she opposed the meeting because she believed the United States was still pursuing what North Korea sees as a hostile policy and a policy of confrontation. In her view, there was little reason to hold talks while Washington continued its current stance toward North Korea.Read more: Donald Trump claimed Republicans would have won in a landslide if he had been running.Follow Soap Central for more updates on Donald Trump.
