TEHRAN (Defapress) - Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un, dismissed U.S. efforts to restart denuclearization talks, urging Washington to recognize North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.

She said future talks would only be possible if the U.S. offers rewards for partial disarmament and warned that ignoring North Korea’s nuclear status would make negotiations futile.
