A United Nations report seen by Reuters last month said North Korea had used “widespread and increasingly sophisticated” cyberattacks to steal from banks and cryptocurrency exchanges, amassing $2 billion which it used to fund weapons of mass destruction programs. “Such a fabrication by the hostile forces is nothing but a sort of a nasty game aimed at tarnishing the image of our Republic and finding justification for sanctions and pressure campaign against the DPRK,” the statement said.

North Korea’s vice foreign minister said on Saturday that hopes for talks with Washington were fading, and criticized Mike Pompeo’s recent comments about “North Korea’s rogue behavior”.

But Trump believe KJN is his follower, so nothing will affect their friendship

As long as they deny it strongly, they'll be fine.

They seem to be able to overcome some of the sanctions

When was North Korea so advanced? They don't even have network and network talents. How can they get money through cyber attacks? Fake news is really too much.

Oh, gee, well, if NK denies it, then they must not have done it. Kim wouldn't lie to his beloved Trump.

But, but, but that KJU guy is such a great man, so swell. He's a tremendous friend. 🙄🙄🙄

must take immediate action to rescue Hindu girls in Pak. Sikh community must get united to resolve it. 🙏

Trump believes them so the case is closed.

Of course it happened, but Trump’s stupidity and lack of concern for anyone but the rich and powerful means he doesn’t care. realDonaldTrump must be removed from office before Kim Jong Un nukes the USA.

I don’t think I believe them.

And the biggest bandit is the fat dictator,who is called ''mister chairman'' by Trump

Trumps bestie would never do that.

Régime meurtrier et corrompu pire que les nazis dont Trump est ami avec le dictateur 👎🤑🤥😜💀

They don't need Trump. It seems they are up to speed on cyberattacks. So they will just help themselves.

“Who ya gonna believe? Me or your lyin’ eyes?”
