Pyongyang criticized US Secretary of State Pompeio in a talk spoken by Lee Yong-ho.

Pompeio accused Pompeio of being the sole agent of American diplomacy, saying in a recent media interview that North Korea said it would "keep the strongest sanctions in history" if it did not denuclearize.

In addition, Pompeio expressed blatant rejection, saying, "There is no rational thinking and rational judgment and a dark shaver on the road ahead of the North American negotiations."

"If the United States wants to confront North Korea with sanctions without abandoning its confrontational stance, it is a miscalculation," he said.

North Korea's talks with a foreign spokesman yesterday said it was "not interested in dialogue with military threats," and then it would be difficult for North Korea to negotiate with North Korea in the near future.

The special vegan US delegation, who sent a message to North Korea during his visit to South Korea, departed through Incheon Airport today without comment.
