KCNA reported on the 4th that Workers' Party Central Committee minister Kim Yo-jong said the U.S. continues to send hostile signals, prompting Pyongyang to reassess the U.S. on multiple fronts. She said that as U.S. hostility toward North Korea reaches new highs, Pyongyang's "reflexive responses" should also set new records. Pyongyang has repeatedly said Washington's abandonment of its hostile policy toward the North is the essential precondition for resolving all issues.
