The new head of the White House, Donald Trump, has announced that he wants to establish a dialogue with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. According to the US president, their cooperation in the past has been productive.

Points of attention

  • The Republican admitted that he considers the leader of the DPRK to be a "smart guy."
  • Negotiations between Trump and Kim Jong-un in the past have not yielded concrete results.

According to the American leader, he allegedly had an excellent relationship with the head of the DPRK during his first term.

Against this background, the journalist asked the head of the White House whether he planned to restore contact with the North Korean dictator — Trump answered in the affirmative:

"I will contact him again," the American leader emphasized.

Moreover, Donald Trump cynically added that Kim Jong-un is "not a religious fanatic" but "a smart guy."

Trump and Kim Jong-un's relationship

What is important to understand is that during his first term, the Republican managed to hold 3 meetings with the North Korean dictator: in Singapore, Hanoi, and on the Korean border — it was the first time a sitting US president set foot on North Korean territory.

These talks did not produce any concrete results, although Trump spoke favorably of them and assured that the nuclear threat from North Korea "no longer exists."

As of today, the Kim Jong-un regime is actively supplying weapons to the aggressor country Russia and providing military personnel to participate in hostilities against Ukraine.

After the November 2024 elections, the media reported that Trump's entourage was discussing the possibility of direct talks with Kim Jong-un, which is believed to reduce the risk of armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula.
