North Korea urged the Trump administration on Monday to ignore U.S. hardliners and media coverage casting doubt on Pyongyang’s intention to achieve denuclearization during bilateral negotiations.

The message was delivered in a state media article published by Arirang-Meari, which criticized U.S. intelligence and American media outlets for creating the public opinion that the DPRK was expanding its WMD facilities and had no intention to abandon its nuclear weapons. 

The article said the Trump administration should ignore such messages in order to “build the new future of peace and prosperity breaking with the 70-year past dominated by distrust and confrontation.“
