North Korea on Monday accused US
President Trump of "bluffing" and called him "an old man bereft of patience" as
Pyongyang ramps up pressure on
Washington over stalled nuclear talks.
Trump and North Korean leader
Kim Jong Un engaged in mutual insults and threats of devastation in 2017, sending tensions soaring before a diplomatic rapprochement the following year.
Pyongyang has now set Washington an end-of-year deadline to offer it new concessions in deadlocked nuclear negotiations, and has said it will adopt an unspecified "new way" if nothing acceptable is forthcoming.
