In a new statement, Kim Jong-un’s powerful little sister, Kim Yo-jong, takes a hard line against US President Joe Biden and his administration.
– We use the opportunity to warn the new US administration that is trying hard to create gunpowder odor in our country. If they want to sleep in peace for the next four years, they should not make a stench in their first step, she says according to the state news agency KNCA.
It writes Reuters.
Strong warning
Can become more powerful in the home country
The warning comes after US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin landed in Japan on Monday. Among other things, they will meet Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

The United States and South Korea also began a joint military exercise last week.
Furthermore, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defense will travel to South Korea.
