Kim's sister calls China-U.S. goal on N. Korea denuclearization "false"

BEIJING - Kim Yo Jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said that the May confirmation by U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping of their shared goal to denuclearize North Korea is "false information," state-run media said Sunday.

The sister, who serves as a senior ruling party official, said in a statement Saturday, "This is nothing but an old practice of the U.S. for spreading false information," according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
