The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has dismissed the U.S.’s intent to resume diplomacy on North Korea’s denuclearization

North Korea said relations between its leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump are “not bad” but any attempt to resume dialogue between the two countries should start with recognizing the North as a nuclear power.

North Korea said on Tuesday the United States must accept that reality has changed since the countries' summit meetings in the past, and no future dialogue would end its nuclear programme, state media KCNA reported.
