N.Korea urges Trump to abandon DPRK denuclearization

Rodong editorial does not mention the President-elect by name

North Korea has urged the incoming administration of Donald Trump to abandon Barack Obama’s hard line stance on the DPRK's nuclear weapons, in an editorial published in Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), on Thursday.

Rodong Sinmun said the current U.S. administration’s policy of strategic patience was a “treacherous gamble” which had put the U.S. in the “largest-ever danger” by pushing the North to become a nuclear state.
