North Korea warns Biden against "causing a stink" as U.S. and Japan show a united front
CBSN
Tokyo — The U.S. and Japan presented a united front on Tuesday against an increasingly bold China and as North Korea cast a new warning at the Biden administration. Kim Yo Jong, the sister and senior aid of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, warned the U.S. against "causing a stink," as President Biden's defense chief and Secretary of State met their counterparts in Tokyo.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters that the Biden administration had reached out "through several channels" to the Kim regime in North Korea starting in mid-February, but that Washington has been ignored thus far. The U.S. and South Korea kicked off military training exercises last week, and it was likely in reference to that, but also in light of the senior U.S. officials touring Asia, that North Korea's state-controlled media on Tuesday released the statement by Kim Yo Jong warning that if the U.S., "wants to sleep in peace for coming four years, it had better refrain from causing a stink at its first step."More Related News
