SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called a U.S. push for the denuclearization of North Korea an “anachronistic dream,” saying Sunday the North will steadily expand its nuclear arsenal in the face of U.S.-led threats.

The statement came a day before Chinese President Xi Jinping visits North Korea for talks with Kim Jong Un, in his first visit to the country in seven years.

“The U.S. assertion to backbite the status of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state has no legally binding force and no one will be bound by the U.S. unilateral rhetoric,” said Kim’s sister and senior official, Kim Yo Jong, using the abbreviation for North Korea’s official name.

She dismissed as “false information” a U.S. announcement that President Donald Trump and Xi confirmed their shared goal to denuclearize North Korea in their summit in Beijing last month.

1. I have always thought that it is ridiculous for the US to try and dictate to the rest of the world

on the nuclear threat. Which not only have we pursued but ironically the only country to have ever deployed.

So now we elect a madman and totally mentally unfit POTUS and we will have more nuclear proliferation - which will make the world more dangerous and lead to the greater likelihood of an accident or even worse.

America had better get it together soon or we will put the entire world in peril.

I so hope I am wrong.
