The Wise Honest was seized in Indonesia earlier this month.

North Korea is refusing to re-engage with stalled disarmament talks until the U.S. returns a seized container ship accused of violating international sanctions.

“It is the biggest issue…and a wanton violation of international law,” Han Tae Song told Reuters in Geneva on Wednesday. “It is because it is…infringing upon the sovereignty of our country,” he added. Han’s comments came quick on the heels of similar remarks from North Korea’s most senior diplomat at the UN, Kim Song. The envoy gave a press conference in New York on Tuesday condemning the “outrageous act” which he claimed was designed to make his country “kneel down.”

U.S.-North Korean negotiations have been stalled since the collapse of a bilateral summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, in February. The two sides were reportedly too far apart on sanctions relief in exchange for denuclearization, and leaders President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un departed the meeting early.
