US 'acting opposite' to its plan to improve ties: N Korea
Accusing the US of "acting opposite" to its plan to improve ties despite North Korea's goodwill gestures, state-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun has called on the US to drop sanctions against the country. "How could the sanctions, which were a stick the US administration had brandished as part of its hostile policy against us, promote the two countries' amity?" it said.
