## Key points

- Kim Yo Jong says North Korea sees little reason to resume talks with Washington.
- She cites US policy, military drills and the Binance hack allegations.
- Binance says US$2.85 billion of US$6.34 billion stolen was frozen.

## Summary

Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said Pyongyang had no need to meet US officials while Washington maintained what she called a hostile policy. Her comments appear to weaken hopes of renewed talks with President Donald Trump, who has made several overtures to Kim Jong Un.

She cited the FBI’s attribution of a major Binance cryptocurrency theft to a North Korea-linked hacking group, US-South Korean military exercises and US demands for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons. Kim did not specify what countermeasures North Korea might take. Binance said about US$2.85 billion of the US$6.34 billion stolen had been frozen after the 29 October attack, which experts believe was the largest cryptocurrency heist on record.
