North Korea: Denuclearization is 'off the table'

North Korea’s ambassador to the United Nations said on Saturday that denuclearization is off the negotiating table with the United States.

The ambassador, Kim Song, said in a statement quoted by Reuters 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 Trump’s 2020 reelection bid.
