North Korean state media on Tuesday criticized the United States for its elections and cast doubt over hopes of dialogue in the future regardless of the outcome of the US presidential race in November.
The political climate between Democrats and Republicans is "confused by the infighting" and will not change, said a column carried by KCNA without the name of the author.
"Dialogue with sinister attempt and such dialogue as an extension of confrontation are needless to be held from the outset," the column from the reclusive communist-ruled country said.
The column also mentioned recent remarks by former US President Donald Trump flaunting his ties with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"It's nice to get along with somebody who has a lot of nuclear weapons," Trump said at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week.
While acknowledging Trump's efforts to build ties during his 2017-2021 presidency, the column said no substantial positive change was brought about.
The US and South Korea have been increasingly alarmed by deepening military cooperation between Russia and the North, accusing them of violating international laws by trading in arms for Russia to use against Ukraine. Moscow and Pyongyang have denied any arms transfer.
A delegation of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation arrived in Pyongyang on Monday in the latest sign of closer ties between the two countries.
