Kim Jong-un’s sister reappeared and cursed South Korea’s president

The influential sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has criticized the “daring” of South Korean President Moon Jae-in, whom she considers “a parrot raised by the United States”. for a speech he gave on the situation on the peninsula.

The brutal regime often uses missile fire to create tension, and the launches last week were the first major provocation since the inauguration of US President Joe Biden in January.

Washington and Tokyo said the projectiles were ballistic missiles, despite being banned by the UN Security Council from Pyongyang. Instead, North Korea claims they are tactical guided weapons.

South Korean President Moon, who was the architect of the spectacular 2018 rapprochement between Washington and Pyongyang, delivered a very measured speech on Friday in commemoration of the North Korean attacks of 1999.

He did not specifically mention the North Korean shooting but said actions that could hinder a resumption of dialogue between Pyongyang and Washington are “undesirable”.

This speech angered Pyongyang and Kim Yo-jong, an influential adviser to his brother Kim Jong Un, who saw in them “the height of daring”.

He was speechless “, according to a statement released by the official North Korean agency KCNA, in which he refers to Moon whom he calls “the CEO” of the South, without citing him by name or official position.

He called it a “parrot bred by the United States”. We are far from the “relaxation” of 2018, when Moon went to Pyongyang, where he gave a speech to a crowd at the May 1 stadium.

Biden administration reviews US strategy with North Korea, after the outstretched hand policy led by former President Donald Trump.

Following the North Korean missile fire, Biden warned Pyongyang that there would be “answers if (the North Korean leadership) chose to escalate.” “It will be an appropriate response,” he warned. Although states have left open the possibility of diplomatic exchanges with the north, the White House said on Monday it “did not intend” to meet with Kim.

In January, Kim Jong-un had already warned that he would start testing new weapons if the United States did not come up with new formulas to resume talks and Pyongyang last weekend. he criticized President Joe Biden’s response to his test, warning of a potential further dialectical escalation and military trials on the peninsula.
