They strongly denounce the U.S. for making desperate efforts to isolate and stifle the peace-loving DPRK by branding it as a "murderous regime" supporting international terrorism and by "demonizing" it.

Jong Hui Chol, an official of the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection, told KCNA:

The U.S. behavior reminds everyone of a thief crying "Stop thief!"

The DPRK is fulfilling its responsibility and duty for rooting out terrorism, as a member of the international community. But, the U.S., the biggest sponsor and supporter of terrorism in the world, is desperately keen on the moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK, asserting itself that the DPRK is a "sponsor of terrorism".

Such tragedy should never be allowed to continue. The international community should decide on all the crimes committed by the U.S., the kingpin of terrorism which has openly committed all sorts of terrorism like state-sponsored terrorism, seized with wild ambition for dominating the world, and force it to pay dearly for the crimes.

Kim Kuk Jin, a worker of the Kumsong Tractor Factory, said:

Though Trump clamored for a series of additional maximum sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK, it can never work on our working class. The louder the old mad dog barks, the stronger our belief in our might will grow. And with this belief we will firmly advance toward the final victory.

An Jong Chol, an officer of the Korean People's Army (KPA), said:

The U.S. should immediately withdraw its gangster-like measure that re-listed the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism".

The U.S. outrage to terminate our sacred socialist Korea makes every KPA serviceperson burn with the strong will to exterminate the enemies.

The U.S. had better ponder over the fact that the DPRK will make further countermeasures in step with its future behavior.
