NEW: Pyongyang will not return to dialogue with the U.S. unless all its demands are accepted by Washington, a top adviser to North Korea’s foreign ministry confirmed on Saturday.

nknews.org/2020/01/north-…
The position was communicated in remarks by Kim Kye Gwan, which also confirmed that @realDonaldTrump directly sent a “personal letter” to mark Kim Jong Un’s birthday – the 1st apparent DPRK confirmation of Kim's birthday being in January.

@realDonaldTrump The statement, however, criticized South Korea’s Blue House for involving itself in the communication of Trump’s birthday wishes, saying its mediation was not necessary as a “special liaison channel” between Trump and Kim exists.

#BREAKING Trump and Kim summit over
Trump: nobody knows how it will turn out but it is a historic day, quick notice no one saw this coming, in speaking with President Moon, often times he said the meeting itself is historic and there's something to that.
Trump: So we have agreed to have teams set up (refers to Pompeo, Biegun) & what's going to happen is over the next two or three weeks, the teams are going to start working to see whether they can do something. Pretty big stuff, complicated, but not as complicated as people think.

"The trite stance shown by the delegates of the US side at the negotiations venue made us feel that our expectations were no better than an empty hope and rather increased a doubt as to whether the U.S. truly has a stand to solve the issue through dialogue", N.Korea official says

NEW Unsealed U.S. ruling confirms widening American criminal investigation into Hong Kong company that helped North Korea evade financial sanctions on its nuclear program, spotlighting role of big China banks Bank of Communications, China Merchants Bank wapo.st/2PIko89
A federal judge in Washington, DC, upheld subpoenas to three largely state-owned Chinese banks. Earlier, the U.S. froze assets of Minzheng International Trading Ltd,, noting the Hong Kong's firm use of the banks and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank @C4ADS wapo.st/2PIko89
Judge: “Allowing China to gum up United States’ investigations by dictating how the United States can pursue evidence, especially when the two countries’ interests are not aligned, is antithetical to sound law enforcement," wapo.st/2PIko89

NEW: North Korea’s foreign ministry says it doesn’t want to talk to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo any more. If talks resume, they want someone “who is more careful and mature in communicating with us”
“At this time, only Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of the State, is talking nonsense that its meaning is to finish the working level negotiation between the DPRK and the U.S. by the end of the year, which subjects him to public ridicule.”
“We cannot be aware of Pompeo's ulterior motive behind his self-indulgence in reckless remarks; whether he is indeed unable to understand words properly or just pretending on purpose. However, it is a very dangerous situation if he really did not grasp the meaning.”
