US- North Korea Relations: US said it bears "no hostile intent" towards North Korea. (File)
The United States said Wednesday it bears "no hostile intent" towards North Korea and remains open to the idea of negotiations, after Kim Jong Un called the offer "no more than a petty trick."
Kim has accused the administration of US President Joe Biden of pursuing a hostile policy against his nuclear-armed nation, even though Biden's government has repeatedly offered to meet North Korean officials without preconditions.
"The United States harbors no hostile intent toward the DPRK," a State Department spokesperson said in a statement.
"Our policy calls for a calibrated, practical approach that seeks serious and sustained diplomacy with the DPRK to make tangible progress that increases the security of the United States, our allies, and our deployed forces."
