North Korean Envoy Calls Donald Trump’s Offer to Talk ‘Nonsense’ and ‘Propaganda’

The North Korean ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva called Donald Trump’s offer to meet with Kim Jong-un a “kind of propaganda or advertisement,” dismissing the idea that the Republican frontrunner would seriously consider such a meeting.

Speaking to Reuters on Monday, So Se Pyong said, “It is up to the decision of my Supreme Leader whether he decides to meet or not, but I think his (Trump’s) idea or talk is nonsense … It’s for utilization of the presidential election, that’s all. A kind of a propaganda or advertisement.”

Last week, Trump said he would meet with the North Korean leader to halt the country’s nuclear program. “I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him,” he said.
