Trump says Kim Jong Un 'didn't like' Biden, Obama but 'likes me'; highlights ties making US, allies safer
"I do have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un, as you know, you've seen. He didn't like Biden, he didn't like Obama, he didn't like anybody, but he likes me, and I just got along with him very good," Trump told reporters while addressing technology leaders.
Former US President Donald Trump expressed that he has a strong rapport with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, asserting that their engagement has bolstered the safety of the United States and its allies. Trump maintained that Kim did not favor Presidents Biden or Obama, but he found their interactions to be mutually beneficial. Trump highlighted that he and Kim have met twice, and he described their communication as fostering a sense of safety in the Korean Peninsula.
Trump also criticized the frequent South Korean military exercises, claiming they were counterproductive and insulting towards Kim, a figure he described as treating him with "great respect." Furthermore, Trump expressed discontent over South Korea's reluctance to assist the US in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that the country relies heavily on oil supplies from the strategic waterway.
Trump anticipated meeting Kim Jong Un later in the year and emphasized his personal connection with the North Korean leader.
