TOKYO North Koreas main newspaper accused the United States on Sunday of staging military drills to prepare an invasion while at the same time pursuing dialogue with a smile on its face.

North Korea Accuses Double-Dealing U.S. of Plotting Invasion
North Korean state media has warned the United States deserves merciless divine punishment for hatching a criminal plot against Pyongyang. Kim Jong Un was apparently angered by the abrupt cancellation of Secretary of State Mike Pompeos visit. Mondays Rodong Sinmun newspaper said U.S. special units based in Japan were staging an air drill aimed at infiltration into Pyongyang, adding: We cannot but take a serious note of the double-dealing attitudes of the U.S. as it is busy staging secret drills involving man-killing special units while having a dialogue with a smile on its face. Negotiations aimed at denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula have been deadlocked since Donald Trumps summit with Kim in June.
