North Korea: "U.S., Do Not Interfere in Inter-Korean Relations... Horrible Things Will Happen" (2nd Report)

North Korea warned the United States on the 11th not to interfere in inter-Korean relations, saying, "If you do not want to suffer a terrible fate, it would be better to keep your mouth shut and tidy up your own house first."

On the same day, Kwon Jong-gun, director of the U.S. affairs at North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made this claim in response to a question from a reporter of the North Korean state media Korean Central News Agency.

Director Kwon warned, "At a time when the U.S. political situation is more chaotic than ever, if you do not think about taking care of your own affairs and unnecessarily interfere in others' matters and speak recklessly, you may face difficult and unfavorable consequences."

He added, "There are quite a few unsettled issues between us and the United States, so is there any need to act as a servant to South Korea and take on troubles that others face?" He advised, "If you do not want to suffer a terrible fate, keep your mouth shut and tidy up your own house first."

He emphasized, "That would not only be in the interest of the United States but also beneficial for smoothly conducting the upcoming presidential election right around the corner."

Earlier, on the 9th (local time), a U.S. State Department spokesperson said regarding North Korea's blocking of inter-Korean communication channels, "We are disappointed by North Korea's recent actions."

It is unusual for the U.S. State Department to use the term "disappointed" in a statement about North Korea. This expression mainly appeared last year when North Korea threatened provocations against the U.S. around Christmas, referring to them as "Christmas gifts."
