North Korea's U.N. envoy says denuclearization off negotiating table with United States

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations said on Saturday that denuclearization is off the negotiating table with the United States and lengthy talks with Washington are not needed.

Ambassador Kim Song's comment appeared to go further than North Korea's earlier warning that discussions related to its nuclear weapons program, the central focus of U.S. engagement with North Korea in the past two years, might have to be taken off the table given Washington's refusal to offer concessions.

Kim said in a statement that the "sustained and substantial dialogue" sought by the United States was a "time-saving trick" to suit its domestic political agenda, a reference to U.S. President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection bid.

"We do not need to have lengthy talks with the U.S. now and denuclearization is already gone out of the negotiating table," he said in the statement made available to Reuters.

But if he says anything about it in public, that would be as bad as whining about a sunburnt butthole.

They need nothing more from the United States as they've already received everything they could possibly have wanted or dreamed in Trump. Seriously dumb dotard
