North Korea on Sunday denied a letter was sent to US President Donald Trump, North Korean state news agency KCNA said, citing a foreign ministry press chief.
The denial comes after Trump told reporters that he recently received a “nice note” from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump had said on Saturday in Washington: “We’re doing just fine with North Korea.”
Speaking of a US media report, KCNA said in the statement, “he could have referred to the personal letters that had been exchanged in the past, we are not sure”.
“But there was no letter addressed recently to the US president by the supreme leadership of the DPRK.” Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is North Korea’s official name.
