The US State Department said yesterday that North Korea is deeply concerned about food shortages and that the two countries are closely cooperating with North Korea, including humanitarian aid from the South Korean government. „We are deeply concerned about the well-being and humanitarian situation of the North Korean people,“ the US State Department spokesman said.
The US Department of State has expressed deep concern over North Korea’s food shortage and said the two countries are closely cooperating on the North Korean response to humanitarian aid.
„We are deeply concerned about the well-being and humanitarian situation of North Koreans,“ a US State Department spokesman said in a VOA broadcast.
„The United States and our ally, South Korea, have agreed on North Korea,“ the official said, noting that the South Korean government has announced its willingness to donate $ 8 million to humanitarian aid to North Korea. We are working closely to respond. „
A former US State Department spokesman said on Thursday that President Trump expressed his support for President Moon in a conversation with South Korean President Moon Jae-in last Thursday.
President Roh said in a speech at the time that President Trump said, „It is very timely and positive for South Korea to provide food to North Korea at a humanitarian level.“
However, a spokesman for the State Department spokesman pointed out the reason for the current food crisis in North Korea as „a result of the North Korean regime’s choice to put priority on illegal weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs rather than the well-being of its own people.“
„The United Nations Security Council resolution does not prohibit food imports from North Korea.“
