North Korea Denies Humanitarian Aid
In a freakishly surprise, the North Korean government requested Washington stop issuing them humanitarian aid.
Pyongyang reportedly threatened to launch another missile test if the continued aid supplies kept coming.
Last week, the North Koreans asked for more humanitarian aid otherwise they would conduct the exact same missile test.
According to State Department spokesman Robert Wood, the U.S. received the official request a few days ago.
“Clearly, this is food assistance that the North Korean people need. That’s why we’re concerned,” he said.
Statistics show that the U.S. supplied nearly 169,000 metric tons of aid.
The U.S. is confused. South Korea and Japan are confused. Everyone’s confused.
