North Korea: It won't surrender to US-led sanctions - Associated Press

Further headlines crossed the wires from the  North Korean Foreign Ministry this Wednesday, citing that it won't surrender to US-led sanctions and accused Washington of trying to "bring us to our knees," the Associated Press reports.

The North's Foreign Ministry said it "will not hesitate to pull a muscle-flexing trigger in order to defend ourselves" if anyone dares to trample over its sovereignty.

Earlier today, the North stated that the US extension of sanctions is an extreme act of hostility.
