SENIOR North Korean official Kim Yo Jong told South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeoul to “shut his mouth” today after he repeated an offer of economic aid in return for nuclear disarmament.

Mr Suk Yeoul had first proposed the agreement in May and reiterated it in his talk on Wednesday to mark his 100 days in office.

He said that he was willing to provide phased economic aid to North Korea if it ended nuclear weapons development and began denuclearisation.
