Another unnamed foreign ministry spokesperson said the US had insulted the dignity of North Korea's leadership by criticising the country's human rights situation. The criticism is a provocation that shows the US is"girding itself up for an all-out showdown" with North Korea, the spokesperson said, adding that it will be answered accordingly.Press secretary Jen Psaki did not give details of the review's findings but she said the Biden administration would seek a middle ground between Donald Trump's"grand bargain" and Barack Obama's"strategic patience" approaches.
Mr Trump met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a number of times during his presidency, each time claiming to have made major progress.North Korea is reluctant to surrender the nuclear weapons it sees as necessary for its own protection - especially without some form of sanctions relief.
