North Korea said Sunday it will continue expanding its nuclear arsenal and dismissed renewed U.S. calls for denuclearization as an "anachronistic dream," as Chinese President Xi Jinping prepared to visit Pyongyang for his first trip there in nearly seven years.
Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said the country's status as a nuclear weapons state was irreversible and accused Washington of spreading "false information" after the White House said President Donald Trump and Xi had reaffirmed a shared goal of denuclearizing North Korea during talks in Beijing last month.
