North Korea has accused the US of being "hell-bent on hostile acts", despite a recent agreement between the two countries to resume nuclear talks.
Pyongyang's delegation to the United Nations said on Wednesday that the US was "obsessed with sanctions".
"[It] speaks to the reality that the United States is practically more and more hell-bent [on] hostile acts against the DPRK [North Korea]."
"All UN member states will have to keep vigilance against deliberate attempts by the United States to undermine the peaceful atmosphere that has been created on the Korean Peninsula," it said.
Pyongyang added that it was "quite ridiculous" for the US to view sanctions as a "panacea for all problems".
The US has yet to respond to the statement.
This approach makes perfect sense. NK has been able to manipulate this president and his idiot cabinet/administration with their messaging since day 1.
I remember when fat ass trump declared fire and fury if rocket man didn't obey him. Now, he's in love with rocket man.
What is going to stop other bad actors like Iran from doing the same thing. I totally laughed my ass off when trump threatened Iran with obliteration. I wonder if he'll obliterate them with the same fire and fury he used against rocket man.
As with every bully, trump always backs down when someone calls his bluff.

And President Xi of China has also been pretty successful at manipulating Trump as well:
