North Korea's Kim Yo Jong denies knowledge of Trump communications

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has denied any knowledge of recent communications between her brother and U.S. President Donald Trump. Her comments follow remarks by Trump suggesting he had been in contact with his North Korean counterpart. "I am absolutely unaware of it, and it is probably the only matter related to our highest authorities' foreign policy that I am not aware of," Kim Yo Jong said in a statement released Wednesday. She asserted that she had no information regarding any exchanges between the two leaders. Furthermore, Kim Yo Jong dismissed the U.S. decision to reduce the scale of joint military exercises with South Korea. "Regarding the reduction of the scale of joint military exercises launched by the United States and South Korea, announced by the U.S. president, we do not consider it worthy of comment and find it perfectly uninteresting," she stated, indicating Pyongyang's lack of interest in the move.
