SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea’s state media criticised the U.S. election on Tuesday and cast doubt on hopes for future dialogue regardless of the outcome of November’s U.S. presidential vote.
KCNA said in an unnamed column that the political atmosphere between the Democratic and Republican parties was “chaotic due to infighting” and would not change.
“There is no need from the outset to engage in dialogue with sinister intentions and to see such dialogue as an extension of confrontation,” the op-ed from the reclusive, Communist-ruled country said.
The column also mentioned former US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks bragging about his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“It’s nice to be around people who have lots of nuclear weapons,” Trump said at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week.
While acknowledging Trump’s efforts to build relations during his presidency from 2017 to 2021, the column said it did not result in substantive positive changes.
The United States and South Korea have grown increasingly concerned about Russia’s deepening military cooperation with North Korea, accusing it of violating international law by selling weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine. Both Moscow and Pyongyang deny any arms transfers.
A delegation from Russia’s Supreme Prosecutor’s Office arrived in Pyongyang on Monday, the latest sign of closer ties between the two countries.
