North Korea has threatened to abandon planned talks between leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump in if Washington insists on pushing it “into a corner” on nuclear disarmament.
The highly anticipated meeting between Mr Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un is due to take place on 12 June.
North Korea’s vice-foreign minister was quoted in his angry statement accusing US of making reckless statements.
He also points the finger squarely at US National Security Adviser John Bolton.
