North Korea harshly criticized the United States, stating that their actions at the UN are "shameless" and accusing them of ignoring the very existence of the United Nations.

In a statement published by the official news agency KCNA, the North Korean mission to the UN contested a report regarding the violation of sanctions imposed on North Korea, emphasizing that the real issue that should be debated is "the despicable criminal act of the United States." Pyongyang accused Washington of contempt for the UN and denounced American operations as illegal and immoral acts. Additionally, President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal from UN organizations deemed contrary to US interests, in the context of North Korea facing severe sanctions from the UN Security Council.
