North Korea Foreign Minister Says Country Won't Disarm Without Trust

...More than three months after a June summit in Singapore between the U.S. and North Korean leaders, Ri told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly that the North doesn't see a "corresponding response" from the U.S. to North Korea's early disarmament moves. Instead, he noted, the U.S. is continuing sanctions aimed at keeping up pressure.

"The perception that sanctions can bring us on our knees is a pipe dream of the people who are ignorant of us," he said, adding that the continued sanctions are "deepening our mistrust" and deadlocking the current diplomacy.

"Without any trust in the U.S., there will be no confidence in our national security, and under such circumstances there is no way we will unilaterally disarm ourselves first," Ri said, adding that the North's commitment to disarming is "solid and firm," but that trust is crucial.
