North Korean leader's powerful sister slams ‘Old’ Biden over nuclear threat


SEOUL, April 30 (Bloomberg): The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un slammed US President Joe Biden for making nuclear threats, saying it marked the "dotage of the old” and would be met by a boost in her country’s atomic arsenal.

Kim Yo-jong’s comments, released on state media Saturday, marks the first official reaction from North Korea to a meeting this week in Washington between Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol to boost their deterrence against Pyongyang, and includes a rare mention of the US president in its propaganda apparatus.
