And a similar commentary, from Rodong Sinmun:
U.S. Should Get Rid of Bad Habit of Confrontation and Hostility
The U.S. has recently made public a presidential resolution terming the DPRK “human trafficking country.”
It is an unpardonable political provocation against the dignified DPRK and the most hostile act against the spirit of the Singapore DPRK-U.S. summit talks.
Human trafficking is unthinkable in the DPRK where its system is based on giving priority to the people and loving them and the revolutionary comradeship and virtue constitute the spirit of the society thanks to the people-fist policy.
The U.S. is the world’s worst graveyard of human rights.
The recent provocation is designed to tarnish the image of the dignified DPRK at any cost and create an atmosphere for more sanctions and pressure.
The U.S. persistent “human rights” campaign, a product of its extreme ignorance, prejudice and long-standing hostile policy against the DPRK, only betrays the inhumane nature of the U.S.
The U.S. pledged to end the history of hostility and confrontation between the two countries, but still resorts to sanctions and pressure accompanied with vicious slander on the dignity and social system of the dialogue partner. Such double-dealing tactics deserves domestic and international denunciation.
The U.S. would be well-advised to get rid of the stale habit of confrontation and hostility at an early date, mindful that the trite “human rights” racket against the DPRK will bring only disgrace upon the U.S.
