PIVOT TO ASIA UPDATE: “North Korea Orders South Out of Kaesong Border Factory, Seizes Assets”

North Korea’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland — part of Kim Jong Un’s ruling Workers’ Party — said in a televised statement that Pyongyang “will deport all South Korean workers as of 5 p.m. [3:30 a.m. ET]. We will freeze all South Korean assets including factory facilities, goods and all others and those being deported may only take their personal belongings.”

The fiery statement also called the South’s shutdown of the plant a “dangerous declaration of war” and contained crude insults against South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye, calling her a “confrontational wicked woman” who lives upon “the groin of her American boss,” according to The Associated Press.

Say what you will about Kim Jong-un, but at least he makes an entertaining press release.
