Former US President Donald Trump dismissed negotiations with Iran as a futile endeavor, describing the Iranian regime as an "empty shell". The ex-president expressed frustration with South Korea for failing to provide assistance regarding the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil transportation. Trump maintained a positive relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, indicating that communication channels between the two nations remain open.
