North Korea on Thursday said the United States has no standing to comment on inter-Korean affairs, and said it is in Washington's interest to stay quiet if it wants a successful presidential election, state news agency KCNA said.

The statement comes after the U.S. State Department said it was disappointed at North Korea for suspending communication hotlines with South Korea on Tuesday. “Not only would this be in the interest of the United States, but also be beneficial for a successful presidential election ahead,” Kwon said, telling the U.S. “to keep its mouth shut” unless it wants to go through “something terrible.”
