The hermit nation was reeling on Sunday, after President Moon Jae-in in the south credited the White House for helping with talks between the pair.
An angry response threatened to withdraw co-operation in the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
Four days after Moon’s New Year press conference in which he said harsh sanctions imposed by the US, and President Trump in particular, had forced Kim Jong-Un to act, the North released a statement which oozed fury.
In an article titled ‘The South Korean government should not mistake it’, the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said the decision may have repercussions.
It said: ”Rash remarks that pour cold water over the reconciliatory phase are dumbfounding and disappointing people.
“We will proactively make efforts to improve North-South relations, but will not overlook any foul behaviour that pours cold water over them.”
Pyongyang and Seoul have been locked in a tense standoff since the Korean War ended in 1953 in a military stalemate between the two sides.
Today, the article also indicated talks could still go ahead.
It scared: “It’s nonsense to say recklessly from the first that a meeting is possible only if there’s outcome.”
Both sides of Korea are in the process of arranging North Korea’s participation in the Olympics next month.
Rare high level talks were held last week over the matter.
