北, 美국가비상사태•대북제재 1년 연장에 비난... "대북 적대행위 노골화"<br /><br />North Korea's foreign ministry has lashed out at the U.S. for continuing what it calls "hostile policies" despite Kim and Trump's promise to improve relations.<br />In a statement on Wednesday, Pyeongyang was referring to the recent U.S. decision to extend, by another year, its sanctions on North Korea.<br />The North also brought up U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's recent remark that over 80 percent of North Korea's economy is subject to sanctions.<br />The North stressed... that it won't succumb to sanctions and will go ahead with a show of force if Washington tries to trample on its sovereignty.<br />But once again, Pyeongyang targeted its criticisms to Pompeo only not Trump.<br />It said... improving relations and denuclearization will be difficult if the U.S. keeps hostile policymakers like Pompeo. <br />
