Kim Yo Jong Again Comments on Binance Hack: Views It as Extension of U.S. Hostile Policy

According to TechFlow, on November 4, Yonhap News Agency, citing KCNA, reported that Kim Yo Jong, head of the General Affairs Department of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued a statement on November 4 on the Binance hack. This was her second comment on the matter within three days.

Kim said that North Korea does not view the Binance hack as an accidental or isolated incident, but as an extension of Washington's hostile policy toward North Korea, and that the United States is seeking political gains from the incident.

She said the options for maintaining peace "clearly include dialogue," but dialogue does not necessarily equate to national interests for North Korea; North Korea has no need to sit down with "untrustworthy, hostile people," and hinted that it may take tough countermeasures.

Kim had previously issued a statement on November 2, calling the allegations "a political provocation by the United States" and "absurd rumors." U.S. President Trump had earlier said that if North Korea was behind the hack, he would communicate with North Korea on the matter.
