US sanctions on Pyongyang lowering trust: North Korea

North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong ho told the United Nations on Saturday that continued sanctions on Pyongyang were deepening its mistrust in the United States.

"Without any trust in the U.S. there will be no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances, there is no way we will unilaterally disarm ourselves first," Ri told the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.
