SEOUL: North Korea said relations between its leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump are "not bad” but any attempt to resume dialogue between the two countries should start from recognising the North as a nuclear power.
In a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday (July 29), Kim Yo Jong - the sister of leader Kim - said the US should start acknowledging the North’s "radically changed” capabilities and that Pyongyang is open to "any option” to defend its national interest.
