North Korea condemns US military exercise during summit
North Korea demanded that the US military call off war manoeuvres with South Korea planned at the same time as the second-ever summit between the rival Koreas later this month.
During a meeting held at the North’s request at the truce village of Panmunjom, North Korean officers read a statement to US soldiers saying the exercises would have a “catastrophic impact” on six-nation negotiations on North Korea’s nuclear disarmament.
