Just a few days after the US admitted that it had tried reaching out to North Korea, they get a terse response:

“We don’t think there is need to respond to the U.S. delaying-time trick again,” Choe said in a statement carried by state media. “We have already declared our stand that no (North Korea)-U.S. contact and dialogue of any kind can be possible unless the U.S. rolls back its hostile policy toward (North Korea). Therefore, we will disregard such an attempt of the U.S. in the future, too.”

U.S.-led diplomacy on North Korea’s nuclear program remains stalemated for about two years because of disputes over U.S.-led sanctions on the North. Experts are debating over whether the United States and its allies should settle for a deal that would freeze North Korea’s nuclear activities in return for relaxing sanctions to prevent its arsenal from further growing.

North Korea has had plenty of criticism of President Biden in the past. They don’t even bother trying to hide their insults in diplomatic double-speak:

The official Korean Central News Agency published a commentary Tuesday castigating Biden, who “dared to blaspheme our dignity in the election campaigns.” The outlet dismissed the former Delaware senator as a “snob lacking even the most basic qualities of a human being, much less a politician.”

Echoing President Donald Trump’s description of Biden in March as a “low-IQ individual,” the article referred to Biden as “an idiot with a low I.Q.”

Its hard to see a how the current administration can get past the animosity. So far, North Korea seems perfectly happy keeping the hermit kingdom away from the Biden team.
