According to news agency Yonhap, US President Donald Trump stated on Monday that he is in “communication” with Kim Jong-un of North Korea and that his administration will take action against the Kim dictatorship “at some point.”
Three in-person encounters between the presidents took place between 2018 and 2019 as a result of rumors that Trump had held direct diplomatic discussions with Kin Jong-un during his first term in 2018.
When asked when he plans to contact Kim, Trump responded, “We have a great relationship, and yeah, we have…there is communication,” in reference to North Korea, at a press briefing.
Trump described North Korea as a “big nuclear nation” and referred to Kim Jong-un as a “smart guy.”
The US president recalled meeting with Kim in June 2019, when he entered North Korea at Kim’s request and crossed the Military Demarcation Line.
He and I were quite close. I recall walking over the line after putting my foot over it. At some point, I will probably do something,” Trump continued.
