The US must choose its Christmas gift, North Korean Deputy FM Ri Thae Song, ABC News reported.

“What is left to be done now is the U.S. option and it is entirely up to the U.S. what Christmas gift it will select to get,” Ri said.

North Korean state media reported leader Kim Jong-un said in his speech that he would wait until the end of this year for the US to change its approach to denuclearization talks without providing further details.

“The dialogue touted by the U.S. is, in essence, nothing but a foolish trick hatched to keep the DPRK bound to dialogue and use it in favor of the political situation and election in the U.S.,” Ri said, referring to North Korea by its formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
