Nancy Pelosi is the “worst destroyer” of peace and her visit to the inter-Korean border last week demonstrated U.S. “hostile policy” toward North Korea, the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement over the weekend.

The U.S. House speaker traveled to the Joint Security Area (JSA) at Panmunjom last Thursday in what ROK President Yoon Suk-yeol described as a “sign of U.S.-ROK deterrence against North Korea."
