North Korea demands US ends hostility one year on from Singapore

North Korea yesterday called on the US to roll back it's, what Pyongyang called hostile policy. The development comes a day before the first anniversary of a summit between its North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump. 

North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said the joint statement from the Singapore meeting of what the country termed of great historical significance is now on the verge of turning into a dead document as the US shuns its implementation. It termed the policy



as arrogant and unilateral adding that the US would never work with North Korea.

The first-ever meeting between a North Korean leader and a sitting US President took place in June last year in Singapore, where Mr Kim and Mr Trump signed a deal to achieve complete denuclearisation.

But a second meeting in Vietnam in February ended abruptly as the two failed to agree on what the North would be willing to give up in exchange for sanctions relief.
