According to a statement released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), which quoted Jo Yong Sam, director general of the Department of Press and Information at the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “Pelosi, the worst destroyer of international peace and stability, had… incurred the wrath of the Chinese people for her recent junket to Taiwan,” the statement said.

“The United States will be forced to make a hefty payment for all of the sources of problems that she created wherever she went.”
