According to Xinhua News Agency, on February 18, North Korea unexpectedly criticized the US government, accusing Washington of using North Korean defectors to attack the country's political and social system at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in South Korea.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) published a commentary saying that the administration of US President Donald Trump had become "deeply confused by the atmosphere of reconciliation between the two Koreas" shown at the Olympics.

The article accused American media outlets such as CNN and CBS of making untimely speculations about the possibility that members of the North Korean sports delegation would defect to South Korea during the Olympics.

Earlier on February 9, the opening day of the PyeongChang Olympics, CNN reported that "there is still a possibility that a member of the North Korean delegation attending the PyeongChang Olympics will defect, while the world is watching the Olympics."

KCNA criticized the US government for being "evil" and ignoring "the ardent desire of the people of the two Koreas to improve inter-Korean relations and unify the country"./.
