North Korea rejects South's aid offer, calls President Yoon 'really simple'
CNN
North Korea has rejected South Korea's offer of economic support in exchange for denuclearization, saying the proposal suggests President Yoon Suk Yeol is "really simple," state media KCNA reported Friday.
Kim Yo Jong, a top official and the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, criticized Yoon's offer to improve North Korea's economy and the livelihood of its people as "pipedream-like remarks."
Yoon first proposed what he called an "audacious plan" to swap economic cooperation for an end to North Korea's nuclear program during his inauguration speech in May. He has since continued to raise the idea, reiterating the offer this week.
Hours after President Joe Biden touted its success during his commencement speech at West Point last Saturday, White House staffers learned that the temporary pier the military had just constructed into Gaza was falling apart. Four Army vessels had been beached, two in Gaza and two along the coast of Israel.
