North Korean Media Blasts US Journalists Over “Economic Aid” Comments

The North Koreans don’t need economic aid for the US considering that President Moon is figuratively willing to drive the Bank of Korea armored truck directly to Kim Jong-un’s palace.  They just need the US to drop the sanctions on the Kim regime so the payoff aid can be legally delivered to North Korea:

North Korea on Sunday fumed at U.S. reports that the country is seeking economic assistance from the United States in return for denuclearization.

The ruling Workers’ Party’s official newspaper Rodong Sinmun commented that Fox News TV, CBS and CNN were “as impudent as to make rubbish that if the DPRK meets the requirements of the U.S., it can get ‘large-scale non-governmental economic aid.'”

“This is nonsense of hack media on the payroll of power,” according to its commentary carried in an English dispatch by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

“U.S. media is still building up public opinion that the DPRK comes to the negotiating table with the U.S. in a hope to get ‘economic aid,'” the report said using the initial of the North’s full name, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “We can not but make the fact clear. It is the U.S. that asked for DPRK-U.S. talks first,” the North claimed.

“As far as the ‘economic aid’ … is concerned, the DPRK has never expected it.”  [Yonhap]
