He said, \u201cThere\u2019s a very substantial chance that it won\u2019t work out\u201d for June 12.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That first changed last week, when it lashed out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2018\/05\/16\/this-is-the-military-exercise-that-has-kim-jung-un-spooked-and-may-throw-a-wrench-in-trumps-historic-summit\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">against the maneuvers<\/a>, cut high-level contacts with Seoul and threatened to \u201creconsider\u201d the Trump summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reports on Tuesday, which came as North Korea allowed an airplane full of foreign journalists into the country to cover the dismantling of its nuclear test site this week, accused Seoul of teaming up with Washington for military drills intended as a show of force and as a \u201cwar drill\u201d against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not unusual for North Korea\u2019s official media to turn to hyperbole to make a point and the rhetorical barrage coincides with a visit to Washington by South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Strongly worded messages don\u2019t necessarily mean it is backing away from diplomatic negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the North\u2019s abrupt sharpening of its words has raised concerns the Trump summit may prove to be a bumpy one \u2014 or that it could even be in jeopardy. Trump has suggested he is willing to walk away if Kim isn\u2019t willing to have a fruitful meeting and it appears both sides have agendas that remain far apart from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been no indication that North Korea will cancel plans to dismantle the test site, an important gesture of goodwill. The North has also not suggested it will go back on its promise to halt underground testing and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it did ban South Korean journalists from the trip to the nuclear site. And the language Tuesday offered a veiled threat that talks could be harmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDialogue and saber-rattling can never go together,\u201d said the commentary published in Minju Joson, one of the country\u2019s four main daily newspapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are some arguments describing the improvement of the situation on the Korean Peninsula as \u2018result of hard-line diplomacy\u2019 of the U.S. and \u2018result of sustained pressure,\u2019\u201d said another, by the official KCNA news agency. \u201cIt seriously chills the atmosphere of the DPRK-U.S. dialogue and is of no help to the development of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DPRK is short for the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea, the North\u2019s official name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet another article lashed out at South Korean authorities for allowing defectors to send anti-North Korea leaflets across their border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It noted that the two leaders agreed at their summit in the Demilitarized Zone last month not to conduct hostile acts against each other and said the authorities have an obligation under that agreement to block such actions, even by private citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the North-South relations face a grave difficulty again owing to the provocation of human scum, the blame for it will be entirely on the South Korean authorities,\u201d the report said. \u201cThey must know what price they will be made to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korean media stepped up their rhetorical attacks on South Korea and joint military
