Kim Yo Jong has been described as a mouthpiece for her brother, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un — and a potential successor.

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has dismissed the United States’ stated intent to resume diplomacy on denuclearisation, urging Washington to accept her country as a nuclear weapons state.

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rebuffed an appeasement overture by South Korea’s new liberal government, saying Monday that North Korea has no interests in talks with South Korea no matter what proposal its rival offers.
