Kim Yo-jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, has broken her silence on a delicate issue, stating that the relationship between her brother and former US President Donald Trump is “not bad.” However, she explicitly ruled out bilateral talks focused on Pyongyang’s denuclearization. Kim, who serves as deputy director of the Workers’ Party Central Committee’s Propaganda Department, issued her assessment as the American billionaire continues expressing his desire to resume contact with the North Korean leader without receiving any positive response.
