SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea said Tuesday it doubted Washington's commitment to a landmark accord reached at the last nuclear talks, criticizing a recent U.S. allegation that the communist nation was involved in money laundering activities.
The U.S. Treasury Department last month accused a Macau-based bank of helping North Korean customers distribute counterfeit currency and engage in other illegal activities. Banco Delta Asia has denied the allegations, saying its relationships with North Korean clients were legitimate and purely commercial.
On Tuesday, an unnamed spokesman for the North's Foreign Ministry said the U.S. allegation was "nothing but a version of the trite psychological warfare conducted by the U.S. administration to justify its hostile policy" toward the North.
