The statement said:

Trump let loose a torrent of brigandish abuses, claiming that the re-listing of the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism" should have been taken long ago and it is a "murderous regime" which threatens the whole world with nukes and goes to all lengths to back international terrorism. And he told that additional maximum sanctions and pressure would be taken in succession upon the DPRK and those countries and individuals doing business with it.

The U.S. act of re-listing the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism" is a hideous political provocation as it has neither ground nor validity.

Now that Trump has made an extra-large provocation, tantamount to another declaration of war against the DPRK, its army and people will not sit on their hands.

Trump should be mindful that more desperate efforts Trump makes to strangle the DPRK by "demonizing" it, dearer price the U.S. will have to pay for it, and stop at once such fruitless sanctions and pressure against the DPRK and the brigandish step of re-listing the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism".

The U.S. should know that the DPRK's future countermeasures will be up to the former's action.

We take this opportunity to warn the Abe group of Japan and the south Korean authorities, who act as puppets and faithful dogs of the U.S., zealously working to please their master, not to go reckless any longer if they are concerned about their future.
