Trump says 'probably' has a good relationship with North Korea's Kim: WSJ
Reuters Staff
3 MIN READ
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he probably has a very good relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a change in tone for Trump after exchanging insults with Kim over Pyongyangs nuclear and missile programs.
Trump has derided the North Korean leader as a maniac and referred to him as little rocket man. Kim has responded by calling the U.S. president a mentally deranged U.S. dotard.
I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. I have relationships with people. I think you people are surprised.
Kim has warned the United States that he intends to build a nuclear arsenal capable of hitting the United States, prompting threats of military action by Washington.
Asked whether he has spoken with the North Korean leader, Trump told the newspaper: I dont want to comment on it. Im not saying I have or havent. I just dont want to comment.
