North Korea Cutting Food Rations By Almost Half

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

North Korea says it is facing a food shortage for 2019 that will require rations be reduced by almost half for its citizens.

Reuters reports that the country revealed the information to the United Nations in a two-page memo, although the document is not dated. However, the information comes a week before North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meets with U.S. President Donald Trump in Hanoi, Vietnam. The summit will be the second between the two nations.

According to Reuters, the memo says that the country produced 503,000 tons less of food in 2018 as compared to 2017. The country estimates that its food shortage will equal 1.4 million tons in 2019.

NBC News reports that Kim Song, North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations, wrote the memo. Song said the combination of high temperatures, drought and typhoons, as well as sanctions against the country are to blame for the shortage.

Half for the people. The other half for the great leader.
