North Korea says negotiations with the US are pointless Pyongyang sees it as completely impossible to resume diplomatic contacts if Washington continues its current hostile policy. According to the head of the department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Kim Yo-jung, her country has a deep distrust of the American side and does not see the desire of the White House to abandon the course of open confrontation, the Korean Central Telegraph Agency reports. "There is no need to sit at the negotiating table with people who cannot be trusted, who are hostile," Kim Yo Jong said.
