North Korea reasserts the Trump administration is running out of time to salvage nuclear negotiations and says it’s entirely up to the United States to choose what “Christmas gift” it gets from the North.

FILE - This undated file photo provided on Friday, Nov. 29, 2019, by the North Korean government, shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, center, surrounded by a military unit, reacts to what it claims as a test firing of its "super-large" multiple rocket launcher in North Korea. North Korea on Tuesday, Dec.

The statement, attributed to a senior diplomat, came as North Korea continues to dial up pressure on Washington and Seoul ahead of leader Kim Jong Un’s end-of-year deadline for the U.S. to offer mutually acceptable terms for a deal. Ri Thae Song, a vice foreign minister handling U.S. affairs, accused Washington of repeating talk offers aimed at buying time without offering real solutions. In comments reported by state media, Ri reiterated earlier North Korean statements that the country has no intention to continue the nuclear diplomacy unless it gets something substantial in return.

Your 'new' train. Merry Christmas.

Tired of WINNING YET?

Bring back carpet bombing. Such an impressive and effective tool.

Maybe it's time we killed them all. Just sayin.

OH NO!! They'll launch more missiles into the sea and say mean things about the USA. Whatever will we do!

'People aren't saying Merry Christmas anymore, they're saying things like my skin's burning or the air is on fire. I'm bringing Christmas back to America with this perfect, beautiful gift from My Rocket Man.'

What the fuck

Wow. Well that’s a statement

rhreid Maybe they just will have to stay a pariah state.

please end us

What gift could this idiot even think to give us? Really? Give is this said gift and we will make a parking lot out of your country

North Koreans give Christmas presents...who knew?

He’s jealous while all the fuss is going on in London

I hope we get a Nintendo Switch

That sounds like a threat

So much winning? Wtf?

TrueFactsStated 🙄

Someone needs attention.

Lol

Little man should worry about what “gift” we send by air freight.

Expert level threat

Better send lol kimmy a love letter Trump

I don't want to listen to K-pop songs at Christmas.

🤔

But Trump is such a brilliant negotiator this can't be true.

What was that again MBalzic ? Why we need to pull this countries head out of the sand. This is not a reality tv show and he is playing like it is.

I’ve always detested the lyrics to Blue Oyster Cult’s hit, “The Reaper”, but musically it still sucks me in. John Gardner talked about the responsibility of the writer not to lead readers to dreadful places. The musician has a similar responsibility.

Is that a threat little man?

Thought realDonaldTrump had this all handled? ‘Fire and fury’? Nobel Peace Prize? 😄😄😄🤡🤡🤡🙄🙄🙄

Trump has put himself and the USA in this position to be manipulated.

Threats?

realDonaldTrump I thought you and your boy hashed this out already...

Song & dance Trump getting serious about peace in Korean peninsula? No way! Trump is interested in himself! All he cares is his own glory! He has exploited vast number of American illiterate to get his way & gloat in it! Kim so dumb expecting a Christmas gift from a deranged man?

LiveSquawk Trump is too busy screwing the American economy for Christmas 🤶

the good old days seem so far away

Hahaha 😜

Buy them a copy of the Rocket Man song signed by sir Elton John

'Candy?'

Money is always good

Done deal ?.....

You are fake news

See? This is what happens when you elevate a tinpot dictator to the world stage. You gotta now put 100% more energy into him. We were better off ignoring DPRK and relying on international pressure/sanctions keep the Kim family in check.

LiveSquawk Not sure what rocket man means. If he means he's going to do something stupid that provokes us to wipe the world clean of his shithole excuse of a country, then I vote for that Christmas present.

They can wait their turn, they not really relevant. Trump will get to them.

I don’t know which is more the child: Kim for demanding attention when Trump goes to Europe; or Trump for playing the victim all the time, unable to accept responsibility for any act of regrettable error or malfeasance. Both demand we look at them. Both threaten if we don’t.

LiveSquawk They will get a nice snaction present just before the 1020 Elections.

TuesdayThoughts

Oh what rubbish. Watch the month of March.

The US should take that as a act of aggression and get rid of Kim once and for all.

No more love letters?
