North Korea calls the US push for its denuclearization 'anachronistic dream'

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called a U.S. push for denuclearization of North Korea “anachronistic dream." Kim Yo Jong said Sunday North Korea will only steadily expand its nuclear arsenal in the face of U.S.-led threats. Her statement came a day before Chinese President Xi Jinping visits North Korea for talks with Kim Jong Un, in his first visit to the country in seven years. Experts say Kim Jong Un wants an international recognition as a nuclear state so that he could demand lifting of international economic sanctions on North Korea.
