North Korea said Friday that it was dropping all efforts to pursue a diplomatic relationship with the United States.

Pictures from Tuesday's demolition were released by the North Korean government. Independent journalists did not have access.

North Korea previously cut all communications with South Korea. The four-story glass-and-steel liaison building sits just inside North Korea's side of the border. Over the weekend, Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, threatened to send troops into the demilitarized zone that separates North Korea from South Korea.

Tuesday's action follows a statement from North Korea saying that it was formally abandoning attempts to pursue diplomatic relations with the White House because of"hypocritical" and"empty promises" made by President Donald Trump. The statement by Foreign Minister Ri Son Gwon was made on the second anniversary of Trump's historic handshake with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un at a summit in Singapore.

North Korea has demanded immediate economic sanctions relief in return for starting the process of dismantling its nuclear weapons program. Trump has been unwilling to meet that demand, leading to the gridlocked denuclearization negotiations.
