North Korea's UK ambassador rejects Trump's offer of talks
Ambassador Hyon Hak Bong said that Pyongyang views Trump's offer as an electoral ploy that isn't significant.
London: North Korea's ambassador to Britain says his country has no interest in presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's offer to open nuclear talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
Ambassador Hyon Hak Bong said Tuesday that Pyongyang views Trump's offer as an electoral ploy that isn't significant.
Hyon said that "we see it as the dramatics of a popular actor," adding that U.S. presidential candidates say a lot of things during a campaign but once they assume power they always adopt a hostile stance toward North Korea.
Trump said last week he is open to meeting with Kim Jong-Un, which would represent a sharp alteration in U.S. policy.
The ambassador said the "six-party talks" aimed at ending his country's nuclear weapons program through negotiations are dead.
