North Korea has hit out at the Biden administration as it prepares to unveil its strategy for dealing with Pyongyang and its nuclear programme.
The foreign ministry said recent comments out of Washington showed President Joe Biden was intent on maintaining a "hostile policy".
Earlier this week, Mr Biden called North Korea's nuclear programme a "serious threat" to global security.
The White House says he plans to take a "calibrated" approach to North Korea.
Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Friday that a review of US policy had been completed and suggested Mr Biden had learned from the experience of the previous four administrations who have tried, and failed, to get North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programme.
"Our policy will not focus on achieving a grand bargain, nor will it rely on strategic patience," she said, saying that instead the US would pursue a "calibrated practical approach that is open to and will explore diplomacy" with North Korea while making "practical progress" on increasing security for the US and its allies.
The US is expected to host Japan and South Korea's national security advisers for a discussion about the review soon.

What is this guy going to do? After he throws his temper tantrum is he going to start launching into S. Korea and Japan? Somehow I don't quite believe he is that stupid, then again I may be wrong. One thing is certain, Biden better have a plan.

SP5 (Join to see) If History is any Gage, I'd say He will threaten, bluster and whatever until He get Handouts from the Rest of the World Just Like His Father used to. It's a Family Tradition. It's Hard to Admit that their System is a Complete Failure and they can't afford to Feed their own People. Yes they have the Largest Military Per Capita (The Only Ones that Get to Eat) and Have Made Impressive Nuclear and Weapons Technology Leaps but they have a Very Limited Marketplace to Sell that Stuff but that is It.

Joe Biden likely won't be any more successful in stopping North Korea's nuclear weapons programs than any of his predecessors. The message has been delivered, loud and clear, that the only way for a hostile nation to deter a conventional confrontation with the US is the threat of nuclear weapons.
