SpaceWar.com reports: “Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, on Wednesday reaffirmed Pyongyang’s self-proclaimed status as a nuclear state and slammed U.S. calls to eliminate its arsenal as ‘nonsensical’ and a ‘daydream.’

‘If anyone openly talks about dismantlement of nuclear weapons before us or seeks to revive the dead concept of ‘denuclearization’ under various pretexts, it just constitutes the most hostile act of denying the sovereignty of the DPRK,’ Kim said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
