North Korea rejected as "pie in the sky" US offers of talks and possible aid in exchange for abandoning its nuclear ambitions, accusing Washington on Wednesday of staging a "deceptive drama" to mislead world opinion. 

 

Pyongyang declared it would accept no US offer of dialogue with conditions attached.  

 

A North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman was quoted as saying in a report by the official Korean Central News Agency KCNA that Washington's, "loudmouthed supply of energy and food aid are like a pie in the sky, as they are possible only after the DPRK is totally disarmed". (Albawaba.com)
