SEOUL, March 16 (AP): In North Korea’s first comments directed at the Biden administration, Kim Jong-un’s powerful sister criticized the United States and South Korea for holding military exercises and warned the US against further provocations if it wants a "good night’s sleep for the next four years.”
Kim Yo-jong’s statement Tuesday was issued as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin arrived in Asia to talk to US allies Japan and South Korea about North Korea and other regional issues. They have meetings in Tokyo on Tuesday before speaking to officials in Seoul the next day.
