US President Donald Trump remains open to renewed denuclearisation talks with North Korea, even as Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, warned that any attempt to pressure the country into giving up its nuclear weapons would be seen as “nothing but a mockery” by the US side.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un dismissed the U.S.'s intent to resume diplomacy on North Korea’s denuclearization, as she urged Washington to accept her country as a nuclear weapons state and find a new approach to restart talks.
