North Korea's status as a nuclear weapons state can never be reversed, no matter how much the United States and its Asian allies demand it, state media reported on Wednesday, citing the powerful sister of its supreme leader.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday mocked Washington and its Asian allies for what she called their “daydream” of denuclearizing the North, insisting that the country will never give up its nuclear weapons program.

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister and potential successor to North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, has warned U.S. President Donald Trump that Pyongyang has no intention of giving up its nuclear weapons program.
