North Korea on Sunday denied U.S. President Donald Trump's earlier claims to have recently received a letter from DPRK leader Kim Jong Un, dismissing the remarks as "ungrounded."

The denial, issued in the form of a statement by an official from the North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), came in response to Saturday remarks by the U.S. President in which he said he had received a "nice note" from Kim and hailed continued good ties between the two countries.
