DPRK-U.S. Ties Can Never Become Victim of Political Scramble in U.S.
Pyongyang, August 18 (KCNA) -- Handshakes of the top leaders of the DPRK and the U.S. are the greatest event in the present century declaring an end of the most longstanding and acute cold war on this planet.

The DPRK and the U.S. will steadily show dramatic events while courageously fulfilling their promises.

These were the cheers and excitement of the world when the DPRK-U.S. summit was held and the DPRK-U.S. joint statement issued in Singapore two months ago, says Rodong Sinmun in a commentary on Saturday.

It has been over two months since then but a deadlock between the DPRK and the U.S. is turning the seething expectation and hopes of the world people into impatience and disappointment, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The current deadlock between the DPRK and the U.S. is clearly attributable to the political scramble in the U.S.

Those opposed to dialogue provided the negotiating team with a truncheon called "theory of suspected north Korea's secret nuclear facilities", a fiction, driving it to derailing dialogue.

President Trump who has a "dream" about world peace, an epoch-making cause, has too many rivals.

It is important for the DPRK to improve the relations with the U.S. as soon as possible, but the former thinks that more pressing task is to handle the divided and confusion-ridden U.S. political landscape.

The present deadlock of the DPRK-U.S. relations demands a bold decision on the part of President Trump.

As President Trump admitted, the "fantastic meeting", realized by no other president in the history of America, could come to success to be greatly cheered and welcomed by the world and American people because he acted with his own decision and will, not wavering by the opposition's offensive nor blindly following his aides' view.

Secretary of State Pompeo should not be forced to meet a "miserable destiny" but resolutely smash the opposition's unreasonable and foolish assertions with his own view and courage and display his wisdom and bargaining power in negotiation as the chief of the U.S. diplomacy both in name and reality in order to realize the president's will.

The DPRK-U.S. relations can never become a victim of the political scramble in the U.S.
