Shafaq News/ NorthKorea has strongly criticized US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for labeling ita “rogue state,” warning that such rhetoric does not serve American interests.
In a statement issuedMonday through state media KCNA, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry condemnedRubio’s characterization, calling his remarks “coarse and nonsensical.” Theministry argued that his words only reaffirmed Washington’s "unchanginghostile policy" toward Pyongyang and would not contribute to US strategicgoals.
Rubio made the remarkduring a January 30 appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, where he describedNorth Korea and Iran as "rogue states" in the context of foreignpolicy challenges. While US officials have long used such terminology,Pyongyang’s latest reaction suggests it remains skeptical of Trump’s diplomaticovertures.

The Foreign Ministry condemned Trump’s recent directive todevelop an "American Iron Dome," a next-generation missile shieldagainst various aerial threats. Pyongyang likened the plan to the Cold War-era"Star Wars" program, arguing that it risks fueling an arms race underthe pretext of countering adversaries.
Meanwhile, NorthKorean leader Kim Jong Un has continued to push for military advancements,recently inspecting nuclear material production facilities and calling forincreased nuclear capabilities.
