WASHINGTON/SEOUL -- The Biden administration has completed its review of past U.S. policy toward North Korea but has offered few clues as to what its approach will be, apart from remaining focused on the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

North Korea responded harshly, saying in a Foreign Ministry statement Sunday the review showed Biden intends to maintain a hostile stance toward Pyongyang.
