The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says she doesn’t expect her brother to meet Trump this year. Kim Yo Jong says there’s no reason for the North to gift Trump high-profile meetings when it’s not being substantially rewarded in return.

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun, left, and Japan's Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi attend their bilateral meeting in Tokyo Friday, July 10, 2020.

“But also, you never know,” Kim Yo Jong said in a statement released through Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency, where she called for major concessions from Washington to keep alive the nuclear diplomacy. She spoke as the U.S.’s top official on the Koreas is in Asia. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun is in Japan after meeting South Korean officials in Seoul, where he accused a senior North Korean nuclear negotiator of being “locked in an old way of thinking.” His remarks indicated Washington won’t likely make concessions to resume the talks despite the North’s pressure.

Some analysts believe North Korea, which is sensitive about potential changes in U.S. leadership, will avoid serious talks with the Americans for now before an eventual return to negotiations after the U.S. presidential election in November.

Kim Jong Un Haircut style now.

Dead men don't talk.

Oh gee, could it be maybe because HE’s DEAD?

Who asked her this question?

Haha. They are upset that Mr. President B.O. (bent over) isnt our president anymore.

Lol, Well Then🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️. Please “stay away.” KimJongUn & KimYoJong. Most importantly, Donald Trump need to STAY AWAY FROM YOU! NorthKorea 🇰🇵

At least north korea is more progressive with women in power than the Americans or other western countries....

His sister is sure speaking out quit a bit. Are we sure the little man is even still alive?

The screw loose kim yo jong say having trump meet the other screw loose kim jong un is giving trump a gift. My word don’t they have an over inflated sense of self worth. If Donald’s can of sunshine he has for Beijing reaches North Korea there’s not too many that will mourn !!!

Trump got played, AGAIN!!!! By a hermit king? This guy can't feed an army, let alone field one.They sent him to line 2, the sister. She said. Hello?, Dump said 'let me speak to kim' she said NO, what you want? He said 'to talk' she said 'no money, kick rocks!' And hung up on him.

The most obvious explanation is that Kim is not sure Trump will win the election. So why meet now?

I guess they couldn’t find a picture of the North Korean leader or his sister, so I guess this one will do? I mean all Asians look alike right?

Wouldn't be surprised one bit if North Korea, China, and Russia became a formidable axis. 2021 is gonna get nutty.

What does she mean by “substantially rewarded in return”🇺🇸🕊

Wow honesty from the Kims?

Trump meets trump

🤮

And, thus ends another love affair.

This is an amazing statement.

Trump already gave away the South Korea-USA war games. What else should he give away for nothing? DonTheCon Always making great deals...for our enemies. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TRE45ON

How the tables have turned.

🙄

Pretty sick burn

Sky_Lee_1 Looks like the flag of Japan.

Listen Kim yo trump's too busy making sure Americans get sick and die anyway

So SAD even Kim don't want to meet Dotard. 😂😂😂😂😂

Just bomb that bitch and get it over with

Trump will reward the hell out of them if he thinks it would make for a good photo op. They're baiting him, lol.

NicoleSganga Send a gift basket.

I can't agree more than that North Korea deserve some reward for moving towards peace

Very good conclusion he just used ya all any way when Biden becomes President let’s talk peace and prosperity

Haha! All that hard diplomatic work sure paid for POTUS! So what other diplomatic coup does he have as backup.... still looking....

Who cares.

See what Trump gas wrought? His stupid fawning over Kim has given the DPRK the power to 'gift' meetings to the American leader. What a laughing stock you've made us, realDonaldTrump .

Wow Trump can’t get a meeting with N Korea? I am embarrassed for him.

A few years ago someone turning down a meeting w the US president would never have happened. First Trudeau then Kim. Trump is not the leader or have made US respected again. It’s the opposite.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 The President shouldn’t have given NK the “gift” of meeting with Kim Jong Un acting like they were all of a sudden besties & our problems with them were magically all solved. It was absurd from the beginning.

Or is brother sick

Lol, who is “gifting “ who here?

We’ve got plenty of problems here. He’s very busy

so now trump needs NC to boost his profile

No wonder Trump likes this guy. Both of them are “what’s in it for me” kind of dear leaders.

High profile now this is funny

How the tables have turned. Before Trump it was considered a gift to grant North Korea 'the legitimacy' of a meeting with a POTUS. After Trump's clowning and being easily played by Kim Jung Un, North Korea considers it giving a gift to the US to grant a meeting. 🙄

Because he is dead?

Funny...that sounds quite a bit like what our presidents used to say about North Korea!

Smart man - who knows where that's been?

Lol. The reward was for Trump to be able to shake hands with Kim Jung Un. He’s a cheater in all senses so he wants to be approved by the best of them. Being the sociopath that he is this will definitely hurt his feelings.

I think Kim Jong Un has died and his sister has taken over. And they are using a double for Kim Jong Un.

Unlikely because her brother is dead.

Trump got played once again. He went around praising Kim and now Kim do not want anything to do with him. Trump is a true failure

Even Kim would not expect during all the crazy the Left have thrown at POTUS everyday! He has common sense that if he stands with POTUS,when the dust settles NK will be in a much better position! Then again leaders are making stupid mistakes everyday...

Great work everyone.

Translation: He did not send a thank you note for the fruit basket. Poor form.

😂🤣 Well played. Trump is such a fool.

Bye Felicia!

Trump thought he was the main character this whole time.

Smart decision.

Why would anyone want Donald Trump talking to Kim Jong Un ?

😂😂😂rejected by love of his life! 🙄🙄

And there it is! Kim Jong Un is embarrassed to be seen meeting with Trump. The circle is now complete.

All about whats in it 4 me!

😂

Is he even alive?

IOW North Korea leaves no doubt that North Korea calls the shots in relationship with US under Trump.

Her brother is incapacitated.

I still don’t think he’s alive... she is out in front waaay too much lately!

Kim Jong Un made an absolute 🤡 out of Trump, and by extension, the US. How humiliating.

Ouch!

...and also, he’s dead.

Great minds think alike 😏

Lol. High profile is probably right - relatively.

日本の大臣が独裁者なんだけど。

Snap

North Korea always wants rewards in advance of doing anything, then reneges on its promises and keeps the rewards. We're done playing that game. North Korea needs to do something first.
