Shortly after the conciliatory shouts of US President Donald Trump against North Korea, the country has vilified Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton. Bolton is a „human flaw“ that must be banished, a spokesman for the North Korean Foreign Ministry said today, according to the state news agency KCNA.
Bolton had previously said that North Korea’s recent short-range missile tests „undoubtedly“ violated UN resolutions. Nevertheless, Washington is still ready for talks. The North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said today that Bolton’s statements are „more than stupid.“ Pyongyang has never accepted UN bans on ballistic technology. These spoke off North Korea’s „rights as a sovereign state“ from.
„Bolton is war-obsessed“
Although he did not speak explicitly about rockets, he said that recent kills did not target and threaten neighboring countries. „To ban ballistic-technology kills is like giving up our right to self-defense.“
Bolton was „war-obsessed,“ the spokesman continued. He „whispered“ Trump „war,“ he said, referring to Washington’s actions in the Middle East and South America. Bolton was „structurally disturbed“ and wanted to „destroy peace and security.“ „Such a human flaw must go away as soon as possible,“ the spokesman said.
Trump emphasized trust
Only a few minutes earlier, Trump had made a conciliatory note to North Korea when visiting Japan: There was „great respect“ between the US and North Korea for starting „many good things“. Yesterday he had stressed that he had „confidence“ in North Korea’s ruler Kim Jong-un. The country had fired „some small weapons“, which did not worry him.
North Korea sparked fierce criticism in much of the international community at the beginning of May with two missile tests within a week. Experts predict that Pyongyang’s kills would put pressure on the US in the stalled talks to dismantle the North Korean nuclear arsenal.
