Trump-Kim relations aren't dead, says high ranking official Kim Yo Jong — but if denuclearization is on the table, Pyongyang says don’t bother picking up the phone.

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.

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 program, state media KCNA reported.
