According to Yonhap News Agency on March 13, US President Trump said on the 13th that he hopes to rebuild the relationship he established with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his last term, and boasted that he “gets along very well” with the mysterious leader and still maintains a “good” relationship.
In response to a reporter’s question about whether he has plans to rebuild the relationship he established during his last presidency, Trump said: “Well, I will.”
He was meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House. He added: “I have a very good relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. If I am not elected, if Hillary is elected, you will have a nuclear war with North Korea.”
In an interview with US media broadcast on January 23 local time, Trump also said that he planned to contact Kim Jong-un.
According to previous reports, on June 12, 2018, Trump and Kim Jong-un held the first meeting between the two incumbent leaders in Singapore to hold talks on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and easing tensions between the two sides.
The second “Kim-Trump summit” was held in Hanoi, Vietnam from February 27 to 28, 2019.
On June 30, 2019, Trump met with Kim Jong-un again in Panmunjom, and then crossed the military demarcation line, becoming the first incumbent US president to set foot on North Korean soil since the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement.
