USA und Nordkorea: Trump zu Nordkoreas Atomwaffen: Kim ist mein Freund
Der US-Präsident pocht immer wieder darauf, dass der Iran keine Atomwaffen haben darf. Bei einem anderen Land sieht Trump allerdings kein Problem – und nennt seine Gründe dafür.
U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his understanding for North Korea's possession of nuclear weapons, stating that Kim Jong Un is his friend. Speaking to a journalist in Washington, Trump said, "He has nuclear capabilities, very large nuclear capabilities," referring to Kim Jong Un's nuclear arsenal.
Trump continued, "As long as I'm there, he will be fine. And you know why? Because he respects and likes me." Despite North Korea consistently emphasizing its good personal relationship with Trump, established through multiple meetings during the former president's tenure, the country has not accepted any concrete offers for talks from the U.S. leader.
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, stated that Kim holds "good memories and feelings" for Trump. She dismissed all demands for her nation's nuclear disarmament as "unrealistic." So far, there is no indication from Pyongyang's leadership of a willingness to hold a new summit with Trump, as the president has publicly stated multiple times.
The ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran continue to focus on Iran's nuclear program, which is a major point of contention between the two adversaries. Another significant sticking point remains the blocked Strait of Hormuz, a crucial trading route for global oil shipments.
