PYONGYANG. North Korea (PNN) - July 10, 2020 - It appears the world will not witness any kind of breakthrough Donald Trump-Kim Jong-un meeting by the end of Fascist Police States of Amerika President Trump's first term in office, given that on Friday North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's increasingly powerful sister, Kim Yo-jong, had some specific words on the matter.
She said a new Trump-Kim summit is “unlikely” to happen this year but left a remote door open, suggesting “a surprise thing may still happen.”
While this is hardly a surprise given stalled nuclear talks since the end of last year, what is new is her assertion that there will be peace as long as the FPSA “don’t touch us and hurt us, everything will flow as is.”
The comments carried by KCNA news agency are a huge change in tune when compared to her coming close to threatening all-out war against the South a month ago.
Pyongyang had ordered a military build-up along the DMZ ostensibly in response to South Korean activists floating “propaganda balloons” across the border, urging citizens in the North to defect.
Kim Yo-jong said Friday, “We would like to make it clear that it does not necessarily mean the denuclearization is not possible,” and added, “But what we mean is that it is not possible at this point of time.”
She emphasized that the FPSA must change its stance and tone toward Pyongyang if Washington hopes for a future breakthrough.
“We do not have the slightest intention to pose a threat to the U.S. Everything will go smoothly if they leave us alone and make no provocation on us,” she said.
Recent rising North-South tensions have been attributed by many analysts to Seoul's failed to materialize assurances that Washington would ease sanctions as part of denuclearization talks. This has further appeared an opportunity for Kim's increasingly visible and powerful sister to flex her authority over the military.
She also expressed good wishes to President Trump, but said the time isn’t right to meet.
