North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, has launched a verbal attack on US President Joe Biden, calling him an “old man” who lacks a future. She mocked Biden’s recent comments that the United States will “respond accordingly” if North Korea continues to launch missiles. In a statement issued by North Korean state media, Kim Yo-jong said that Biden had made a “big blunder” by making such remarks, adding that he had shown his “deep-seated hostility” towards North Korea.
Kim Yo-jong’s comments came after North Korea launched two ballistic missiles into the sea, which has drawn condemnation from the international community. This is the first time that North Korea has launched missiles since the Biden administration took office. The launches were seen as a provocation by the US and its allies, and have raised tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The statement also criticized the joint military exercises between the US and South Korea, calling them a “grave violation” of the 2018 agreements to ease tensions between the two Koreas. Kim Yo-jong warned that the North Korean army will “keep a close watch on the future US attitude and actions,” indicating that the regime is not backing down from its aggressive posture.
Kim Yo-jong has emerged as a key figure in the North Korean regime in recent years, and is seen as a potential successor to her brother. Her statement is a clear indication that the regime is not willing to engage in talks with the US anytime soon, and is likely to continue with its provocative actions.
The verbal attack on Biden is the latest in a series of provocations by North Korea, which has been ramping up its missile program in recent months. The US has been calling for the regime to return to talks, but so far North Korea has shown no signs of backing down. The situation on the Korean Peninsula remains tense, and the world is watching closely to see what the North Korean regime will do next.
