N Korea says no US talks plan as Bolton hints 'October surprise'
Source: Aljazeera
Pyongyang's statement comes after ex-US national security adviser signals new Kim-Trump summit before US polls.
North Korea has repeated that it has no immediate plans to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States unless Washington discards what it describes as "hostile" policies towards Pyongyang.
Saturday's statement by North Korean First Vice-Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui came after US President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, John Bolton, told reporters on Thursday that Trump might seek another summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as an "October surprise" before the US presidential election.
"Is it possible to hold dialogue or have any dealings with the US which persists in the hostile policy towards the DPRK in disregard of the agreements already made at the past summit?" Choe said, referring to North Korea by its formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"We do not feel any need to sit face-to-face with the US, as it does not consider the DPRK-US dialogue as nothing more than a tool for grappling its political crisis," she said.

Then the gop controlled legislatures will pick the next potus. And it won't be joe.
Not sure we can stop it. Even if Joe gets over 400 EC votes, it won't matter if barr can keep CA, NY, and a few other states from certifying EC votes to congress.
All they have to do is issue a state of national emergency over voter fraud coming from jina. Then, the courts will muck things up and scotus will pitch it to the house.
He could be sworn in with 30% of the vote.
