Seoul: North Korea denounced on Sunday US President Donald Trump's recent order to ease weapons exports and called the decision "war escalation measures."
"On one hand, the US is pretending to be a 'mediator' by recommending dialogue and negotiation, while on the other hand, it is continuously handing over all kinds of weapons of mass destruction to encourage warmongers to further expand and prolong the war," the Korean Central News Agency said in an unnamed commentary.
Trump has been pushing for the peace negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow, and signed an executive order to ease exports of US weapons on April 9.
