North Korea: U.S. is trying to ruin inter-Korean relations

 North Korea has accused the United States of devising ways to "intentionally" harm inter-Korean relations.


A commentary published Sunday in the Rodong Sinmun, a paper issued by the ruling Workers' Party, said the U.S. is "creating instability in an intentional and calculated manner at a time when the world is welcoming dialogue between the North and South."

This comes after South Korean and U.S. officials last week confirmed that their bilateral military drills will not scrapped this spring.

The annual Key Resolve and Foal Eagle exercises were postponed until after the Pyeongchang Olympics and Paralympics on the request of South Korean leader Moon Jae-in, in a bid to defuse tensions with the North which sees the exercises as a rehearsal for invasion.

The commentary said, "The U.S. is encroaching onto the Korean peninsula with its vast forces for war, scheduling another exercise to rehearse invasive war."
