Strong warning
May become more powerful in the home country
The warning comes after US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin landed in Japan on Monday. Among other things, they will meet with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
The purpose of the trip is to discuss foreign policy and security talks with allies, according to Reuters.
The United States and South Korea also began a joint military exercise last week.
In addition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defense will travel to South Korea.
President Joe Biden is not mentioned by name in Yo-jong’s statement.
– He does not get in touch
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that the Biden administration had tried to contact North Korean leaders.
– Diplomacy is always our goal. Our goal is to reduce the risk of escalation. But so far we have not received a response, Psaki said according to CNN.
He added that the US authorities have tried several times to establish contact with North Korea, but that there has been no dialogue in the last year.
Officials at the White House and South Korea have yet to comment on Kim Yo-jong’s warning.
I have more responsibility
Kim’s mysterious wife left – again
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has given his sister Kim Yo-jong a lot of responsibility over the past year.
According to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, he has assumed responsibility for North Korea’s relations with the United States and South Korea.
More recently, in December, it took a hard line against South Korea after the latter challenged the claim that North Korea has had no cases of Covid-19.
According to Reuters, former US President Donald Trump had three summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his presidency.
The joke about Kim’s flirting: – Take one for the team.
North Korea later ended the talks, stating that it would not hold a dialogue with the United States if it did not abandon its “hostile policy.” After that, the relationship between the two countries was non-existent.
Kim Jong-un has been the absolute leader of the country since 2011.
