North Korea’s foreign ministry is out with a statement condemning the US seizure of its vessels, calling it an ‘illegal act of theft’, according to KCNA. The statement goes on to say that the action violates ‘the basic spirit of the joint statement’ signed last year in Singapore.

Adding that the US should return the vessels without delay and must ‘keep in mind what consequences they will face’.
Yeah, it doesn’t look like both sides are close to having another sit down session to talk things out. Expect the tensions here to grow as Kim gets more and more emboldened to toy around with his missile-testing.
